 Global Warming

Global warming refers to the increase of the earth's average temperature due to
increasing amounts of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

Scientists agree that the burning of fossil fuels like oil and coal causes greenhouse gases
such as carbon dioxide to escape into the air and act like a warm blanket over the earth.

One way to reduce greenhouse gases is to reduce deforestation, the cutting down of trees.
Trees soak up carbon dioxide from the air, so having lots of trees around is good for the
atmosphere.

There are already some changes happening because of global warming. Sea level is rising
and some animals are moving to new homes because their natural habitat is disappearing.
If the warming gets worse, as scientists expect, there may be some kinds of plants and
animals that become extinct.

There may be more storms and floods. Due to melting ice caps, sea levels may rise so
much that people have to move away from the coasts. Some areas may become too dry
for farming.

All humans contribute to global warming by burning fossil fuels when they drive a car,
fly in an airplane, and heat or cool their houses.

The best way to help slow down global warming is to put less carbon into the air by using
less fossil fuel - something that is easy to say, but hard to do!

5. Traduire ce paragraphe en français: (10)

Warming oceans can have far-reaching effects. As water warms, temperature and moisture levels in the air also rise,
which can lead to increased intensity and duration of storms and heavy rains. Increased ocean temperatures can also
accelerate the melting of sea ice, leading to sea level rise and increased coastal flooding. In the water, higher
temperatures can reduce oxygen levels, leading to so-called dead zones, where plants and animals can't survive.
