GLOBAL WARMING. PANIC OR REALITY?

VISIT THE LINKS TO ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS:

1. What is global warming? 

Global warming is the rise in the average temperature of Earth's atmosphere and oceans and the single biggest environmental and humanitarian crisis of our time. The Earth's atmosphere is overloaded with heat-trapping carbon dioxide, which threatens large-scale disruptions in climate with disastrous consequences.

2. What is the process involved in the greenhouse effect?

The "greenhouse effect" is the warming that happens when certain gases in Earth's atmosphere trap heat. These gases let in light but keep heat from escaping, like the glass walls of a green house.

3. What signs warn us about global warming?

Some of the signs are visible in the Arctic, where rising temperatures and melting ice are dramatically changing the region’s unique landscapes and wildlife—as well as people’s lives and livelihoods. Across the globe, other early warning signs include melting glaciers, shifting ranges of plants and animals, and the earlier onset of spring.

4. Watch the video and explain: Global warming, panic or reality?

It's an error caused by the people who lives in the Earth because we are making a lot of pollution that causes the global warming. If we want to save the planet, we have to change and use another kinds of energy. I think it is it is a reality because that video shows how humans are destroying nature. And it's panic because the humans we destructing the planet and is very dangerous.

Writing 9: WRITE AN EMAIL TO AN INTERNET FORUM

Hi,
My name's Carlota Omedes and I live in North East London. I like the area where I live, so I want to improve it.
In my opinion young people spend all their time hanging around the street. As a result, there are sometimes problems with vandalism and graffiti. So there isn't anywhere for young people to go. There aren't any facilities for them.
I think the council should do something about this. I think they should have some land which local people can use for a youth café.

Carlota Omedes.
