CLIMATE CHANGE REQUIRES
THE WORLD'S ATTENTION
We have known about climate change for decades.There is little doubt that Earth is getting warmer and warmer(see the graph).【1】 A warming ocean and atmosphere along with melting① ice and rising sea levels provide evidence of a dramatic② change in the global climate.
【1】There is little doubt that…毫无疑问……,that 引导同位语从句。
In 2013, a lot of people were shocked by a news photo of a dead polar bear that was found on Norway's Arctic island of Svalbard.According to the scientists who found its dead body, all that remained of the polar bear was “skin and bones”.【2】 An expert who has studied polar bears for many years said that from the position of its dead body, the bear appeared to have starved③ and died.Experts claimed④ that low sea-ice levels caused by climate change meant the bear could not hunt seals as before, so it had to travel greater distances in order to find food.【3】 This alarming case showed how the increase in temperature had an impact on⑤ Earth's ecology⑥.
【2】句中who 引导定语从句,修饰the scientists,that 引导定语从句,修饰all,all that 相当于what。
【3】句中that 引导宾语从句,其中meant后又跟一个省略that 的宾语从句。
Then what is causing the increase in the global average surface temperature? Climate scientists often mention⑦ a key climate process called the “greenhouse effect”, which has two common meanings:the “natural” greenhouse effect and the “man-made” greenhouse effect.【4】 The “natural” greenhouse effect refers to⑧ the fact that heat from the sun enters the atmosphere and warms Earth's surface as short-wave radiation.【5】 The heat is released⑨ back into space at longer wave lengths.Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, such as methane and carbon dioxide⑩, trap some of the heat, keeping Earth's climate warm and habitable⑪.Without this process, Earth could not sustain⑫ life.However, the “man-made” greenhouse effect has now become a big problem.When people produce huge amounts of extra greenhouse gases by burning fossil fuels⑬, more heat energy is trapped in⑭ the atmosphere and causes Earth's surface temperature to rise quickly.
【4】句中called the “greenhouse effect”为过去分词作后置定语,which 引导非限制性定语从句。
【5】句中that 引导同位语从句。
There is strong and comprehensive⑮ evidence that the rise in temperature has led to an increase in extreme weather and natural disasters worldwide, not only causing serious damage, but also costing human lives.【6】 Climate scientists have warned that if we do not take appropriate actions⑯, this warming trend⑰ will probably continue and there will be a higher price to pay.In fact, news reports are frequently⑱broadcast⑲ about extreme rainstorms and heatwaves causing deaths and economic losses.
【6】句中that 引导同位语从句,not only…but also…连接两个作状语的现在分词。
Continued greenhouse gas emissions will result in⑳ further warming and long-lasting changes to the global climate.This requires the attention of people all over the world.Governments need to consider making policies and taking appropriate actions and measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.We as individuals can also reduce our “carbon footprint” by restricting the amount of carbon dioxide our lifestyles produce.It is our responsibility to seize every opportunity to educate everyone about global warming, along with its causes and impacts, because this is the most serious issue affecting all of us on this planet.【7】 So what will you do to help?
【7】because 引导原因状语从句,主句中it 作形式主语,动词不定式为真正主语。
气候变化需要全世界的关注
我们几十年前就知道气候变化了。毫无疑问,地球正在变得越来越暖(见图表)。海洋和大气的变暖以及冰川的融化和海平面的上升为全球气候的急剧变化提供了证据。
2013年,一张关于在挪威的北极斯瓦尔巴群岛上发现了一只北极熊的尸体的照片让很多人感到震惊。根据发现北极熊尸体的科学家的说法,这只北极熊只剩下了“皮和骨头”。一位研究北极熊多年的专家说,从它尸体的位置看,这只熊似乎是饿死的。专家称,气候变化造成的海冰水位较低,意味着这只熊无法像以前那样捕猎海豹,所以为了找食物它不得不长途跋涉。这一令人震惊的案例表明,气温升高对地球生态产生了怎样的影响。
那么是什么导致了全球平均表面温度的上升呢?气候科学家经常提到一个被称为“温室效应”的重要气候过程,它有两个普遍的含义:“自然”温室效应和“人为”温室效应。“自然”温室效应指的是来自太阳的热量进入大气层,并以短波辐射的形式使地球表面变暖。热量以更长的波长释放回太空。大气中的温室气体,如甲烷和二氧化碳,会捕获一些热量,使地球气候保持温暖且适宜居住。如果没有这个过程,地球就无法维持生命。然而,“人为”温室效应现在已经成为一个大问题。当人们通过燃烧化石燃料产生大量额外的温室气体时,更多的热能被困在大气中,导致地球表面温度迅速上升。
有充分和全面的证据表明,气温上升已导致世界范围内极端天气和自然灾害的增加,不仅造成了严重的破坏,还造成了人员伤亡。气候科学家警告说,如果我们不采取适当的行动,这种变暖的趋势可能会继续下去,并将付出更高的代价。事实上,新闻报道经常报道造成死亡和经济损失的极端暴雨和热浪。
持续的温室气体排放将导致全球气候进一步变暖和长期的变化。这需要全世界人民的关注。各国政府需要考虑制定政策并采取适当的行动和措施来减少温室气体排放。作为个人,我们也可以通过限制生活方式产生的二氧化碳量来减少我们的“碳足迹”。我们有责任抓住每一个机会,对每个人进行全球变暖及其原因和影响的教育,因为这是影响我们这个星球上所有人的最严重的问题。那么你会怎么补救呢?
