Learn More About Global Warming

What is Global Warming?
The Earth as an ecosystem is changing, attributable in great part to the effects of globalization and man. More carbon dioxide is now in the atmosphere than has been in the past 650,000 years. This carbon stays in the atmosphere, acts like a warm blanket, and holds in the heat — hence the name ‘global warming.’
The reason we exist on this planet is because the earth naturally traps just enough heat in the atmosphere to keep the temperature within a very narrow range - this creates the conditions that give us breathable air, clean water, and the weather we depend on to survive. Human beings have begun to tip that balance. We've overloaded the atmosphere with heat-trapping gasses from our cars and factories and power plants. If we don't start fixing the problem now, we’re in for devastating changes to our environment. We will experience extreme temperatures, rises in sea levels, and storms of unimaginable destructive fury. Recently, alarming events that are consistent with scientific predictions about the effects of climate change have become more and more commonplace.

Environmental Destruction
The massive ice sheets in the Arctic are melting at alarming rates. This is causing the oceans to rise. That’s how big these ice sheets are! Most of the world’s population lives on or near the coasts. Rising ocean levels, an estimated six feet over the next 100 years or sooner, will cause massive devastation and economic catastrophe to population centers worldwide.
The United States, with only four percent of the world’s population, is responsible for 22% of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions. A rapid transition to energy efficiency and renewable energy sources will combat global warming, protect human health, create new jobs, protect habitat and wildlife, and ensure a secure, affordable energy future.

Health Risks
Malaria. Dengue Fever. Encephalitis. These names are not usually heard in emergency rooms and doctors’ offices in the United States. But if we don’t act to curb global warming, they will be. As temperatures rise, disease-carrying mosquitoes and rodents spread, infecting people in their wake. Doctors at the Harvard Medical School have linked recent U.S. outbreaks of dengue fever, malaria, hantavirus and other diseases directly to climate change.

Catastrophic Weather
Super powerful hurricanes, fueled by warmer ocean temperatures are the “smoking gun” of global warming. Since 1970, the number of category 4 and 5 events has jumped sharply. Human activities are adding an alarming amount of pollution to the earth’s atmosphere causing catastrophic shifts in weather patterns. These shifts are causing severe heat, floods and worse.

Our Enviroment Project

Global warming is the increase in the average measured temperature of the Earth's near-surface air and oceans since the mid-20th century, and its projected continuation.

We decide to create a project about the global warming because nowadays it is a very important problem for the world and the worse thing is that we are killing ourselves. so, we want people to see the problems we are causing and we also want to make people try to help our world and to stop damaging our enviroment.

Unit 1. Using an english dictionay

Dangers in nuclear industry’s supply chain

The American Nuclear Society’s annual meeting in June is themed, “Nuclear Science and Technology: Now Arriving on Main Street.” In light of recent reports on the industry’s supply chain flaws, can the package “arrive on Main Street” on time and in one damage-free piece? The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission wonders.
According to the Commission, some parts used in reactors are counterfeit or defective because of an influx of foreign or inexperienced manufacturers crowding in to supply the industry. Most of approximately 700 manufacturers are based in China, Japan, Taiwan and Korea, where inspections do not require the same steps and quality standards as in Europe and the United States. While the Commission regulates reactor siting, construction and operation through a combination of regulatory requirements, licensing and oversight, complete review of tiny control rods, vessels and coolant used to make the reactors is not easy.

New Words:
-Chain: a) A connected, flexible series of links, typically of metal, used especially for holding objects together or restraining or for transmitting mechanical power. b) A series of usually metal links or rings connected to or fitted into one another and used for various purposes (as support, restraint, transmission of mechanical power, or measurement).

-Oversight: a) An unintentional omission or mistake. b) watchful and responsible care.
