  7. 7In Climate Change: The Facts Kate Ravilious presents a very carefully constructed argument in order to inform young readers about the issue of climate change and explain what can be done.

    See if you can remember the key points of her argument by filling in the blanks in the 10 quotes provided here.

    1: Twenty years ago global warming was a [blank_start]fringe subject[blank_end] . . . today global warming has become a [blank_start]political hot potato[blank_end] and the majority of scientists agree that it is [blank_start]a reality and here to stay.[blank_end]

    2: Extra [blank_start]carbon dioxide (CO2)[blank_end] in the atmosphere enhances a natural process known as the greenhouse effect.

    3: Over the past [blank_start]200 years[blank_end] mankind has increased the proportion of greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere, primarily by [blank_start]burning fossil fuels.[blank_end]

    4: Since 1958 scientists at the Mauna Loa Observatory in Hawaii have taken continuous measurements of atmospheric carbon dioxide. The levels go up and down with the seasons, but overall they demonstrate [blank_start]a relentless rise.[blank_end]

    5: . . . the rate of change we see today is [blank_start]exceptional:[blank_end] carbon dioxide levels have never risen so fast. By 2000 they were 17% higher than in 1959.

    6: There is little doubt that [blank_start]humanity[blank_end] is responsible for the rapid rise in carbon dioxide levels. The rise in temperatures that has accompanied our [blank_start]fossil fuel addiction[blank_end] seems too much of a coincidence to be just chance.

    7: Currently [blank_start]oceans and trees[blank_end] are helping to mop up some of the heat by absorbing carbon dioxide, but eventually they will reach capacity and be unable to absorb more. At this point the [blank_start]atmosphere[blank_end] will take the full load, potentially pushing temperatures sky high.

    8: Carbon dioxide is [blank_start]just one[blank_end] of a number of greenhouse gases . . . [blank_start]methane[blank_end] . . . is far more potent as a greenhouse gas, trapping 20 times as much heat as carbon dioxide.

    9: Although average global temperatures are predicted to rise, this doesn't necessarily mean that [blank_start]we'll be sitting in our deckchairs[blank_end] all year round. The extra energy . . . will need to find a release, and the result is likely to be [blank_start]more extreme weather.[blank_end]

    10: Research shows that we are already committed to an average global temperature rise of nearly [blank_start]1C,[blank_end] lasting for at least the next [blank_start]500 years.[blank_end]
