人教版英语选修6unit4GlobalWarming概要.ppt

There is no doubt that the earth is becoming warmer and that it is human activity that has caused this global warming rather than a random but natural phenomenon. All scientists subscribe to the view that the increase in the earth’s temperature is due to the burning of fossil fuel like coal, natural gas and oil to produce energy. 3. It was a scientist called Charles Keeling, who made accurate measurements of the amoumt of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere from 1957 to 1997. 4. They also agree that it is the burning of more and more fossil fuel that resulted in this increase in carbon dioxide. 5. Dr Foster thinks that any trend in which the temperature increases by 5 degrees would lead to a catastrophe. What will you do every day to help reduce greenhouse gases? Buy the recycled products Recycling the bottles Taking public transport like buses can reduce greenhouse gas emissions. And taking train can also help a reduction of greenhouse gas. The recycling symbol Recycled products * Unit 4 Global warming 授课教师：包丽美 Look at the video and what do you know about global warming. 全球气候变暖是一种“自然现象”。人们焚烧化石矿物以生成能量或砍伐森林并将其焚烧时会产生二氧化碳等多种温室气体。这些温室气体对来自太阳辐射的可见光具有高度的透过性，而对地球反射出来的长波辐射具有高度的吸收性，能强烈吸收地面辐射中的红外线，导致全球气候变暖，也就是常说的“温室效应”。全球变暖会使全球降水量重新分配、冰川和冻土消融、海平面上升等，既危害自然生态系统的平衡，更威胁人类的食物供应和居住环境。 energy sources We depend on energy to do many things in our daily lives. For example, energy lights our cities and heats our buildings. Wind energy is used as power to produce electricity . Windmills where electricity is produced by burning coals. The coal power stations in which oil is refined and made pure. The Oil Refineries a facility designed to change nuclear energy into electricity. A nuclear power plant on the roof of a house on a bright sunny day are used to collect solar energy, making your house warm or heating your water. Solar panels The Hydro-electric dams are used to keep back water and raise its level for irrigation or for producing electrici
