According to many reports, the answer is yes. Eleven of the hottest years since 1850 appeared between 1995 and 2006. Last year, the United Nations Intergovernment Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reported the earth was about 0.75℃ warmer than it was in 1850. While this doesnt sound like a lot, a small difference in average temperature can make a big difference in climate. During the last Ice Age, the planet was only about five degrees colder than now. 2．________ Its all about the speed at which temperatures are changing. In the past, temperatures moved up or down step by step. But in the 20th century, especially since 1976, temperatures have likely risen more quickly than during any century in the last 1000 years. Warming may bring improved harvests to northern countries such as Canada and Russia. However, many species wont like these conditions. They begin moving towards cooler places and cause lots of trouble to human world. 3．________ The IPCC reported that human activity is very likely responsible by increasing the greenhouse effect. Some gases cause the air to take in heat energy. Without the greenhouse effect, the earths average temperature would be －18℃ rather than the present comfortable 14.6℃. The main greenhouse gases are carbon dioxide, water vapor and some other gases. Burning oil, coal and waste adds to the carbon dioxide, and it has increased 35% since 1850. 4．________ Many researchers have found that natural forces alone dont explain the temperature increases over the last 30 to 40 years. Their study shows that as carbon dioxide goes up, temperature will rise, too. But some scientists dont agree. They think the effec
