1. Global warming: causes, effects and solutions
Causes The increasing level of greenhouse gases is highly
responsible for warming of the atmosphere.
Combustion of fossil fuels by various means such as
automobiles, factories and electricity use are to blame
for emitting greenhouse gases. To make matter worse,
trees in cities are all chopped down, thus trapping
the heat and raising the overall temperature.
Effects As the temperature increases, the ice at the North Pole
will melt and affect low-lying areas. Animals that
cannot adapt to the changing surroundings will
become extinct.
Solution • Reduce fossil fuel combustion and recycle
garbage.
• Maximize the use of renewable energy.
• Combat issues such as deforestation and raise
people’s awareness.
o Relevant vocabulary
• Bear the brunt of something: the main force of
something unpleasant.
• Searing heat: extreme heat.
• Concrete jungle: the crowded, ugly and industrialized
parts of the city.
