Heavier floods all over the world, worse droughts, more violent storms, failing agriculture and spreading disease can be expected, the report warns. The underprivileged and destitute in developing countries will feel the impact the most, and the income gap with developed countries will widen. The report is the official view of the UN’s intergovernmental panel on climatic change (IPCC). The 1 000-page study complements a similar report on the science of global warming and concludes that the world’s average temperature will rise by up to 6 C by 2100 with sea levels rising by an average of up to 88 cm. In high latitudes the temperature is likely to be greater than the average. This means glaciers and polar icecaps melting, countless species of animals, plants and bird life dying out, farmland turning to desert, fish-supporting coral reefs destroyed, and low-lying island states in the Pacific and Caribbean under water. Northern hemisphere countries would probably become hotter, bringing a rise in deaths from heatstroke in cities and the onset of tropical diseases like malaria and West Nile virus. Africa, already suffering severe economic and social problems, would be most vulnerable to the effects of the warming. Disease levels could shoot up, especially in crowded cities along the coast, which could also face a rise in sea level. In Europe, the southern counties are more likely to be affected, with an increased risk of water shortage and deterioration in soil quality that would affect agriculture. In more northerly countries, flooding will be worse and tropical diseases can become endemic. Roger Higman, Friends of the Earth’s senior climate campaigner said: ‘This catastrophe was made in the rich countries of the north. Governments in industrial countries must agree to radical cuts in our use of coal, oil and gas, and a big increase in the use of renewable power. If we do not act now, it will be too late.’ The world’s governments will meet in Germany this year to try and agree on ways of achieving the Kyoto protocol on greenhouse gases. 1.4.1.

The general structure of an argumentative essay follows this format: o Introduction: Attention Grabber, Background, Information, Statement. o Body: Body paragraphs (Each paragraph should present a major argument that you want to convey to the reader). o Counterargument: An argument to refute earlier arguments and give weight to the actual position. ### Page 40 Downloaded from hlayiso.com o Conclusion: Rephrasing the statement, major points, call to attention, or concluding remarks. {{{ • Function of an Argumentative Essay o An argumentative essay presents both sides of an issue.

CURRICULUM CONTENT: GLOBAL WARMING Global warming is burning the Earth. Sir James Bevan, Chief Executive of the Environment Agency Royal Society 24 September 2018 Greta Thumberg’s UN speech: ... “Change is coming whether you like it or not” Global warming is one of the problems which the whole world is aware of. It can be said that it is the product of society’s development without giving much concern to nature. Countries are addressing this problem to try and find a solution to this problem. The recent studies in this sphere have proved beyond a shadow of doubt that the temperature of the atmosphere is increasing each year. The increase in the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is considered as the contributing reason for this global phenomenon. This has caused an increase of the temperature by about 1 degree Fahrenheit per year. ### Page 42 Downloaded from hlayiso.com It is not just the responsibility of the various governments to take steps for preventing this. It is high time to make strong decisions and unite to protect our land and the planet from dilapidation. Each one of us has a duty to do what we can, to prevent this imminent disaster. Some simple steps are enough in order to prevent this big problem. Bill Gates says ending COVID-19 pandemic 'easier' than solving climate change. Cutting greenhouse gas emissions takes the collective effort of governments around the world, Gates said. Microsoft co-founder and billionaire climate activist Bill Gates on Sunday claimed that eradicating climate change would be harder than ending the coronavirus pandemic. Gates, who has funnelled millions into coronavirus relief efforts over the past year, told the BBC that ending the pandemic is "very, very easy" in comparison to the climate crisis, which will get worse unless governments worldwide aid in this effort. In fact, Gates said that funding a solution to climate change would "the most amazing thing humanity has ever done." Currently, the world emits about 50 billion tonnes of greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere each year. The goal is to lower emissions net zero, which means attaining an equal balance between the greenhouse gases that are put into the atmosphere and the greenhouse gases that are taken out. Cutting these emissions takes the collective effort of governments around the world, he argued. "We need to have price signals to tell the private sector that we want green products," Gates said. Governments will not only have to heavily invest in the research and development of new green products, but they will also have to allow for these products and technologies to grow in the market, the outlet reported. Although this effort takes more than just one person, Gates said during an interview on CBS' "60 minutes" that he is paying $7 million a year to offset his own carbon footprint. Aside from his own efforts, Gates is encouraging others -- if they can afford to do so -- to buy carbon offsets and green products which may get move the world closer to net-zero emissions. His hope is that in doing so, the production cost for reducing carbon emissions will decline while the quality of products will increase. Although it will be hard, Gates said it is not impossible. "There are days when it looks very hard," he said. "If people think it is easy, they're wrong. If people think it is impossible, they're wrong."
