    1) Most scientists believe that human activity such as burning fossil fuels is speeding up climate change by releasing greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. 2) As the Earth's temperature rises, scientists predict the world's glaciers will melt into the oceans, causing sea levels to rise drastically. This could lead to flooding of coastal lands. 3) Droughts occur when there is not enough rain, starving the land of nourishment and making it impossible to grow crops. Farmers fear droughts as they can threaten their livelihoods.

    Global warming reading

    1. Read the following text and underline all the words related to global warming
    (Lee el siguiente texto y subraya todas las palabras relacionadas con el
    calentamiento global)

    What causes climate change?

    Scientists are not completely sure about what causes climate change. Most
    scientists interested in the subject believe that human activity is speeding up
    climate change.

    When sunlight enters the Earth’s atmosphere, it passes through a layer of


    greenhouse gases. Greenhouse gases occur naturally, but humans also create
    them by burning fossil fuels.

    What are the effects of climate change?

    It is very difficult to predict exactly what will happen as the Earth’s temperature
    rises. However, scientists believe the world’s glaciers will melt into the ocean,
    causing sea levels to rise drastically. Most people are terrified of the terrible effects
    this could have on the world we live in.

    Higher sea levels could cause flooding of coastal lands. Warmer ocean water can
    increase storm activity on the coast and areas away from the coast may experience
    droughts.

    Floods and droughts

    The basic cause of all droughts is not enough rain. The land
    can become starved of nourishment which makes it
    impossible to grow anything. Farmers are terrified of
    droughts because they can be disastrous for their livelihood.
    Floods can be just as bad, too.
