Ответы упр. 6

Scientists have shown that the temperature on Earth is increasing by 0.1° every ten years. That’s one degree every century. The gases that are produced by factories and cars are allowing more radiation from the sun to reach Earth. In the future this will have very serious consequences for humanity.

As the Earth gets hotter, the Arctic and Antarctic ice caps will slowly melt and the level of the oceans will rise. A recent report says that the sea level will rise by 70 meters over the next hundred years, causing floods in many low-lying parts of the world. There will be climate changes, too. Some areas will become wetter while others will become much drier. Some areas which today are green and fertile will eventually turn into deserts. Tropical diseases like malaria will become common in areas where today they are unknown.

Ответы упр. 7 The destruction of the rainforest is very worrying. Thousands of acres of forest are being cut down every year and the natural habitats of many animals are being destroyed. As a result, many species are in danger of extinction.

This, in turn, threatens the traditional way of life of many of the indigenous people who live in some of the most remote areas of our planet. As with most environmental issues, we need to think more long-term and realize that everything we do has implications for future generations.

If we want to hand on our world to our children and grandchildren, we simply can’t continue to misuse the world’s natural resources as we are at the moment.
