There are some well-known facts as well as myths about the problem of global warming. Match each myth with the right fact below.
Global Warming: Facts vs. Myths myths:
FACTS:
1. Over millions of years, animals and plants lived, died and were compressed to form huge deposits of oil, gas and coal. In little more than 300 years, however, we have burned a large amount of this storehouse of carbon to supply energy. Today, the by-products of fossil fuel use - billions of tons of carbon (in the form of carbon dioxide), methane, and other greenhouse gases - form a blanket around the Earth, trapping heat from the sun, raising temperatures on the ground, and steadily
changing our climate.
2. The slow heating of the oceans creates a significant delay between the time when carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases are emitted into the atmosphere and the moment when changes in temperature occur. This is one of the main reasons why we don't see changes in temperature at the same time as changes in greenhouse gas emissions. In addition, there are many other factors that affect year-to-year variation in the Earth's temperature such as volcanic eruptions, etc. Still, scientific evidence points clearly to anthropogenic (i.e. human-made) greenhouse gases as the main reason for climate change.
3. Carbon dioxide, a gas created by the burning of fossil fuels (like gasoline and coal), is the most important human-made greenhouse gas. Carbon dioxide from fossil fuel use is produced in huge quantities and can stay in the atmosphere for as long as 200 years. Thus we need to act now if we want to avoid the increasingly dangerous consequences of climate change in the future.
4. Before human activities began to dramatically increase carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere, the amount of carbon dioxide emitted from natural sources closely matched the amount that was absorbed through natural processes, for example, through photosynthesis. Some carbon is later released back to the atmosphere. This balance has now been upset by human activities, which since the Industrial Revolution, have put twice as much carbon dioxide into the atmosphere than can be naturally removed by the oceans and forests. This has resulted in carbon dioxide levels higher than they have been in the last 420,000 years.
5. Carbon dioxide can act as a fertilizer for some plant species under some conditions. However, in nature, plant nutrients like nitrogen as well as water are often in short supply. Thus, even if plants have extra carbon dioxide available, their growth might be limited by a lack of water and nutrients. Finally, climate change itself could lead to decreased plant growth in many areas because of increased drought, flooding and heat waves.
