Solutions
Part 1:Para1-2
What is the graph about? What information can you get from it?
The earth is getting warmer and warmer in nearly a hundred years.
Para 2
climate change
had to travel greater distances to find food
bears couldn't hunt seals
low sea-ice levels
starved to death
Put these events in order
Q: How does climate change impact wildlife?
climate change

Global warming is an issue affecting all of us on this planet.
It requires the attention of people all over the world.
Part 2: Cause
Q: Is greenhouse effect entirely harmful?
=keep/maintain life维持生命
habitat 栖息地
habitable 可栖息的
keep Earth’s climate warm ,habitable and sustain life
natural greenhouse effect
burn too much fossil fuel → produce huge extra CO2 → trap too much heat energy →global warming
man-made greenhouse effect
Greenhouse effect
The causes
necessary
A big problem
heat released back into space
heat enter atmosphere as short-wave radiation

__________________________________
Greenhouse gases trap some of the heat in the atmosphere and keep earth’s climate warm and habitable. If more heat energy is trapped, it will cause global warming.
