This small amount makes a huge difference, causing glaciers to melt and, potentially (潜在的), sea level to rise. We could see even more of this in the future, (maybe another 3°C, or 5°F) global warming global warming 2. A definition of global warming would have to include a measurable, consistent temperature rise, like the one we have seen in recent history. A question remains – Is it an unusual change? Much debate about that one. 3. The earth gets one kind of energy (visible light) from the sun and gives off another kind (infrared红外线). This kind is what gets trapped by green house gases (GHGs) in the atmosphere. Green house gases 4. The global warming green house effect really is a bogus (假的) term. A greenhouse keeps warm by physically trapping the air inside and preventing convection (对流). The atmosphere helps keep the planet warm by trapping outgoing radiation instead. 5. The leading gasses are Carbon-dioxide, Methane, Ozone (臭氧) and Nitrous Oxide (一氧化二氮). Gas analyzers show the concentrations of this stuff have increased somewhat since the beginning of the industrial revolution. 6. The greenhouse effect raises the average temperature of the Earth by more than 30 degrees, so without it the Earth would be a very cold place! green house effect green house effect GREENHOUSE Feeling helpless to do anything about global warming?

Preview Using Language -- WHAT CAN WE DO ABOUT GLOBAL WARMING? 高二选修6 Unit 4 Reading What is the greenhouse made and used for? A greenhouse is made of glass and is used for growing plants, especially during cold weather. How does it work? The air inside is warm because the glass traps the heat from the sun and
