Reading (1): Scientists Say Global Warming is Undeniable (Adapted from an article by David Smith, Reuters, 2005)

Scientists have confirmed that climate change is being caused by human activity. A number of studies looking at the oceans and melting ice leave no doubt that it is getting warmer, people are to blame, and the weather is going to suffer. Tim Barnett, who is a famous global warming researcher, indicates that new computer models that look at ocean temperatures instead of the atmosphere show the clearest signal yet that global warming is well under way. Mr. Barnett said that earlier climate models based on air temperatures were weak because most of the evidence for global warming is not in the air. Other researchers found clear effects on climate and animals. For example, Ruth Curry, who is from an important oceanographic institute, said changes in the water cycle affects the ocean and, ultimately, climate. She said the changes were already causing droughts in the United States, and Greenland’s ice cap. Sharon Smith of the University of Miami found melting ice was taking with it plants that are an important base of the food supply for many animals. And the disappearing ice meant big Institution found that melting ice was changing the animals such as polar bears and seals were losing their homes. Given all these serious problems

caused by global warming and the way humans have abused the earth, governments must act immediately

to save our planet. The future of this planet depends on our actions and any delay would result in serious

problems.

Reading (2): Myths of Global Warming (Adapted from an article by Sterling Burnett, a

Senior Fellow for the National Center for Policy Analysis, 2001)

There is no scientific agreement that global warming is a problem or that humans are its cause.

Even if current predictions of global warming are correct, much of the environmental policy now

proposed is based on wrong theories.First, there is a wrong belief that the earth is warming. While

ground-level temperature suggests the earth has warmed between 0.3 and 0.6 degrees since 1850,

reliable global satellite data show no evidence of warming during the past 18 years. In addition,

scientists do not agree that humans affect global climate because the evidence supporting that

theory is weak. Some people also think that the government must act now to stop global warming.

However, a 1995 analysis by supporters of global warming theory concluded that the world’s

governments can wait up to 25 years to take action with no bad effect on the environment. In

short, our policymakers need not act immediately. The government has time to gather more data,

and industry has time to develop new ways of reducing its influence. Supporters of the theory of

human-caused global warming also argue that it is causing and will continue to cause all

environmental problems. Many famous scientists reject these beliefs. Sea levels are rising around

the globe, though not equally. In fact, sea levels have risen more than 300 feet over the last 18,000

years. Contrary to the predictions of global warming theorists, the current rate of increase is

slower than the average rate over the 18,000-year period.

Handout (4) Sample Essays Based on a Reading-to-Write Task

1

There are many problems in the world that cause many changes to our environment. These problems

have a big effect and it always a negative effect on the world. Also, it can may because one of dangers

cause to world change. One of these problems is global warming.

Global warming is increase in the average temperature of the Earth’s. This can make a big

change in the world such as, weather, lifestyle, and environment. This change can caused by human

activity, environment and pollution. In my opinion, All of them are truth because, the daily human

activity for example, the worker who work and the factors to make anythings. There are many run-off

can factors produce such as, the dirty water which use to wash the machans and the poison gas. The

poison gas can caused high tempreather of the Garth’s. This will effect on the enviroment for example,

dissolution the trees and plants. Also, it chang the clean water to dirty water (river). I think the human

have are the main factor to make and improve the global warming and the environment can’t chang by

itself. To sum up, we must but roles for all human activities, you this world to product our world.

2

Today there are many problems that causes by humans activites or anythings that cause it. One of these

problems is the global warming. The global warming is the rumor phenomenon that appear today and it

is being caused by human activities or natural activities like hurrican and other environmental hazards.

Also, there are many scientists and researchers that try to solve this phenomenon. In addition

(“a number of studies looking at the oceans and melting ice have no doubt that it is getting warmer”).

First of all, Tim Barnett is one of a famous global warming researchers who staid that the

(“earlier climate models based on our temperatures were weak because most of the evidence for global

warming is not in the air”)

Next, (“other researchers found clear effects on climate and animals”) and one of these

researchers is Ruth Curry who is from an important oceanographic insititute. (“she said the changes

were already causing droughts in the United States, and Greenland’s ice cap”).

In the other hand, most of the scientists and researchers found not only humans are its cause

but also most of the environmental activities and natural hazards. Also (“scientists do not agree that

humans affect global climate because the evidence supporting that theory is weak”)

6

Then the governments should try to stop this problem or try to decrease the dangerous that

caused it for people or animals or earth.

In conclusion, I agree when the global warming is damaging our earth and I agree when this

problem that causes many dangerous for our life and other lifes on the earth. Also, people should know

what the global warming that can cause for them like hazards or diseases.

3

Global warming is a big problem increased in the last years. It affects badly the earth and. The studies

show that this problem is caused by human activity.

Global warming is defined as the increasing in the average temperature of the earth. It was

increased because of the greenhouse effects. That has gas as water vapour, carbon dioxide, nitrous

oxide and ozone, these gases keep the heat and the warm of the sun on the earth. The industry

increasing as a result the CO2 and other gases increased, so the greenhouse effects will make the earth

warmer and the climate will change.

The effects of global warming became more every year. For example “Ruth Curry who is from an

important oceanographic institute said the changes will already causing drought in the United States,

and Greenland’s ice cap.” (David Smith, 2006). Also, this problem causing the melting ice and the sea

levels have risen. When I search on the internet I found many other results of global warming.

This is a serious problem and has many bad result. If it doesn’t solve, it will increase and damage

the plant. The governments must act imeddialy with people to find a solutions and save the plant.

4

I will write about the global warming. The global warming is damaging and it is the very dangerous on

the earth. Also This problems is very important on people.

First, The global warming is problem and this effect for the earth and this also effect on health people.

Then, the cause from global warming is the human and the human does this problem. Also, the human

cause global through some things; cars, factors and smoking…

Second, the global warming sometime effect on the human in health. It is the global warming affect on

animals and every things in the earth. Then this problems also, effect on forest and environment and all

plants.

In conclusion, the global warming (ran out of time)
