Experts in climatology and other scientists are extremely concerned about the changes to our
climate. Admittedly, climate changes have occurred on our planet before. For example, there
had been several ice ages or glacial periods.
These changes were different from the modern ones because they occurred gradually and
naturally. The current changes aren't the result of natural causes, but of human activity.
Furthermore, the changes are occurring alarmingly rapidly.
The major problem is that the planet is warming up. According to some experts, this
warming, known as global warming, has been occurring in the last 10,000 years. The
implications for the planet are very serious. Rising global temperatures could cause ecological
disasters such as floods and droughts. This could have a harmful effect on agriculture.
This unusual warming of the Earth has been caused partly by greenhouse gases, such as
carbon dioxide, being emitted into the atmosphere by car engines and modern industrial
processes. Such gases not only add to the pollution of the atmosphere, but also create a
greenhouse effect, by which the heat of the sun is trapped. This leads to the warming up of
the planet.
Scientists also suggested that we should plant more forests so that they can absorb
greenhouse gases. At least part of the problem of rapid climate change has been caused by
too drastic deforestation.
29. Scientists are not worried about the recent changes in the Earth's climate.
30. Climate change has never occurred on Earth in the past.
31. The greenhouse effect is the main cause of global warming.
