全球变暖

科学家与环保人士担心全球变暖的问题。使用化石燃料(如石油、煤)或大面积砍伐森林,是地球大气“温室气体”不断增加的两大因素。这些气体所吸收的热能越来越多,最终将改变天气形态、造成海平面与海洋温度的上升。

虽然科学界对全球变暖的影响程度尚有歧见,但若人类对温室效应造成的危险置之不理,无异于玩火自焚。为避免温室效应加剧,从个人角度来看我们可以做的就是降低对化石燃料的依赖、减少用电,并采取最不耗损自然资源的生活方式。在政府这个层面,世界大部分的工业化国家,已在1997年所签定的京都议定书中,宣誓将做到气体排放减量。

Global Warming

Scientists and environmentalists are concerned about global warming. The use of fossil fuels such as petroleum and coal and the deforestation of large areas (large-scale deforestation) are the two major factors behind rising levels of “greenhouse gases” in the Earth’s atmosphere. As these gases retain more and more heat energy (When these gases trap more heat), the eventual results (consequences) will be altered weather patterns, an increase in sea levels and ocean temperatures, and disruptive climate changes that affect the habitats of plants, wildlife and humans (climate changes, rising sea levels and temperatures, and weather that disrupts human, wildlife and plant habitats).

Although there is disagreement within the scientific community about the extent of global warming, humans would be playing with fire if we were to ignore the danger it poses (its dangers) (humans would put themselves at great risk if they ignored the danger it signals.) As individuals, we can reduce our reliance on fossil fuels, use less electricity and adopt lifestyles that minimize the use (reduction / degradation) of natural resources (We can cut back on the use of fossil fuels, limit electricity consumption, and live in a way that spares natural resources.). On the government level,

most of the world’s industrialized nations have pledged to cut gas emissions under the Kyoto Agreement in 1997. (The government of most industrialized nations are signatories to the 1997 Kyoto Protocol / Accord, which binds them to reduce gas emissions.)
