29、mans are partly responsible”.,T,( ),We start our look at global warming with an article written by the editors of Time that draws together evidence from across America and around the world to illustrate the impact that climate change is having. The article then moves on to consider some of the harmf

30、ul consequences that will arise if the trend continues and the possibility that the pace of climate change may increase dramatically.,D R _ Text 0,1 You say youre a skeptic on global warming? Perhaps you dont live in Florida, along the Gulf Coast or in Shishmaref, Alaska: people who live in those pa

31、rts tend to be believers. Florida was battered by four monster hurricanes in 2004, while Katrina swamped New Orleans and hammered the coast of Mississippi a year later. The extraordinary power of the past few hurricane seasons, many scientists believe, is due to global warming. The big storms beef u

32、p on the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico, and those latitudes are growing warmer, year by year.,D R _ Text 1,Heat Wave,The Editors of Time,D R _ Text 2,2 As for the tiny town of Shishmaref (pop. 600), it is an Inupiaq Eskimo village perched on a slender barrier island 625 miles north of Anchorage.

33、 When Time reporter Margot Roosevelt visited it in 2004, she discovered it was “melting into the ocean.” It had lost 100 to 300 ft. of coastline and half of that amount occurred since 1997. The permafrost beneath the beaches was thawing, and the sea ice was thinning, leaving residents increasingly v

34、ulnerable to violent storms. One house had collapsed, and 18 others had to be moved to higher ground, along with the towns bulk fuel tanks.,D R _ Text 3,Giant waves had washed away the school playground and destroyed $100,000 worth of boats, hunting gear and fish-drying racks. “Its scary,” village o

35、fficial Luci Eningowuk told Roosevelt. “Every year we agonize that the next storm will wipe us out.”,3 The ice-fishing season in Shishmaref that used to start in October now began in December, since the ocean freezes later each year. Berry picking began in July instead of August. Most distressing fo

36、r the Inupiaq is that thin ice made it harder to hunt oogruk, the bearded seal that is a staple of their diet and culture.,4 Whats going on? Global warming, caused in part by the burning of oil and gas in factories and cars, is traumatizing not only the Gulf of Mexico but also polar regions, where t

37、he complex meteorological processes associated with snow, permafrost and ice magnify its effects. A study published in Science in 2004 found that glaciers in West Antarctica are thinning twice as fast as they did in the 1990s. In Alaska the annual mean air temperature has risen 4 to 5 in the past th

38、ree decades, compared with an average of just under 1 worldwide.,D R _ Text 5,5 As a result, Alaskas glaciers are melting; insects are devouring vast swaths of forest; and thawing permafrost is sinking roads, pipelines and homes. Arctic Ocean ice has shrunk 5% to 10%, at an accelerating rate. “Shish

39、maref is the canary in the coal mine an indicator of whats to come elsewhere,” said Gunter Weller, director of the University of Alaskas Co-operative Institute for Arctic Research. “The evidence is overwhelming that humanity has altered the climate.”,D R _ Text 6,D R _ Text 7,6 From Miami to Shishma

40、ref, and at many points in between, people say the weather doesnt seem normal anymore. Yet to put matters in perspective, there is no such thing as normal weather. As Midwestern farmers often opine, “If you dont like the weather, just wait five minutes.” And seasons are rarely normal. Winter snowfal

41、l and summer heat waves beat the average some years and fail to reach it in others. Its tough to pick out overall changes in climate in the face of these natural fluctuations. An unusually warm year, for example, or even three in a row dont necessarily signal a significant general trend.,7 Yet the e

42、arths climate does change. Ice ages have frosted the planet for tens of thousands of years at a stretch, and periods of warmth have pushed the tropics well into what is now the temperate zone. But given the normal year-to-year variations, the only reliable signal that such changes may be in the work

43、s is a long-term shift in worldwide temperature.,D R _ Text 8,D R _ Text 9,8 And that is precisely whats happening. In 1988, when Time named Earth the Planet of the Year, the idea that our world was warming up as a result of human activity was largely theoretical. We knew that since the Industrial R

44、evolution began in the 18th century, factories and power plants and automobiles and farms have been loading the atmosphere with heat-trapping gases. But evidence that the climate was actually getting hotter was still murky.,D R _ Text 10,9 Not anymore. Reports, studies and articles from esteemed sci

45、entific organizations have now demonstrated that worldwide temperatures climbed more than 1 over the past century, and that the 1990s were the hottest decade on record. Look around: snow fields, including the legendary snows of Kilimanjaro, are disappearing from mountaintops around the globe. Coral

46、reefs are dying off as the seas get too warm for comfort.,Drought is the norm in parts of Asia and Africa. El Nino events, which trigger devastating weather in the eastern Pacific, are more frequent. The Arctic permafrost is starting to melt. Lakes and rivers in colder climates are freezing later an

47、d thawing earlier each year. Plants and animals are shifting their ranges poleward and to higher altitudes, and migration patterns for animals as diverse as polar bears, butterflies and beluga whales are being disrupted.,D R _ Text 11,10 Faced with these hard facts, most scientists no longer doubt t

48、hat global warming is happening, and almost nobody questions the fact that humans are at least in part responsible. Nor are the changes over. Already, humans have increased the concentration of carbon dioxide, the most abundant heat-trapping gas in the atmosphere, to 30% above preindustrial levels a

49、nd each year the percentage increases. The obvious conclusion: temperatures will keep going up.,D R _ Text 12,11 If the rise is large enough, the results could be disastrous. With seas rising as much as 3 ft., enormous areas of densely populated land coastal Florida, much of Louisiana, the Nile Delt

50、a, the Maldives, Bangladesh would become uninhabitable. Entire climatic zones might shift dramatically, making central Canada look more like central Illinois, Georgia more like Guatemala. Agriculture would be thrown into turmoil. Hundreds of millions of people would have to migrate from unlivable re
