Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each
of the questions. Global Warming
Day after day we hear about how anthropogenic development is causing global warming. According to an
increasingly vocal minority, however, we should be asking ourselves how much of this is media hype and
how much is based on real evidence. It seems, as so often is the case, that it depends on which expert you
listen to, or which statistics you study. Yes, it is true that there is a mass of evidence to indicate that the
world is getting warmer, with one of the world’s leading weather predictors stating that air temperatures
have shown an increase of just under half a degree Celsius since the beginning of the twentieth century.
And while this may not sound like anything worth losing sleep over, the international press would have us
believe that the consequences could be devastating. Other experts, however, are of the opinion that what
we are seeing is just part of a natural upward and downward swing that has always been part of the cycle
of global weather. An analysis of the views of major meteorologists in the United States showed that less
than 20% of them believed that any change in temperature over the last hundred years was our own fault –
the rest attributed it to natural cyclical changes.
There is, of course, no denying that we are still at a very early stage in understanding weather. The effects
of such variables as rainfall, cloud formation, the seas and oceans, gases such as methane and ozone, or
even solar energy are still not really understood, and therefore the predictions that we make using them
cannot always be relied on. Dr. James Hansen, in 1988, was predicting that the likely effects of global
warming would be a raising of world temperature which would have disastrous consequences for mankind:
“a strong cause and effect relationship between the current climate and human alteration of the at-
mosphere”. He has now gone on record as stating that using artificial models of climate as a way of
predicting change is all but impossible. In fact, he now believes that, rather than getting hotter, our planet is
getting greener as a result of the carbon dioxide increase, with the prospect of increasing vegetation in
areas which in recent history have been frozen wastelands.
In fact, there is some evidence to suggest that as our computer-based weather models have become more
sophisticated, the predicted rises in temperature have been cut back. In addition, if we look at the much
reported rise in global temperature over the last century, a close analysis reveals that the lion’s share of
that increase, almost three quarters in total, occurred before man began to “poison” his world with industrial
processes and the accompanying greenhouse gas emissions in the second half of the twentieth century.

A. damaging B. comforting C. scattering D. disturbing

A. refined B. crude C. complex D. modern

A. global warming should make us lose sleep
B. global warming is not the result of natural cyclical changes, but man-made
C. the consequences of global warming will be deviating
D. global warming is not man-made, but the result of natural cyclical changes

A. leads to reliable predictions B. is variable

6
 C. cannot be denied D. is not very developed yet
