READING: CAN YOU IMAGINE...?
Can you imagine what will happen if temperatures continue to rise around the globe?
According to scientists, global temperatures have increased by over 1 degree in the past fifty years. If this continues our earth will face disaster. For example, if temperatures at the North and South Poles increase, ice there will melt faster. This means a greater volume of water will pour into the oceans. If the sea level rises, coastal cities will flood.

Big cities on the coast like New York and Miami and Venice will be unlivable like New Orleans shortly after Hurricane “Katrina” in 2005, but, in contrast, damage by ocean flooding will be irreversible.
Another danger is from snowfall on the mountain tops. If the snow melts faster, the volume of water will increase. This means rivers will swell and cause flooding and erosion. Or if high temperatures do not allow snow to form on the mountains we will lose a valuable source of fresh water.

If we don’t do something soon the situation will be very critical. Scientists hope people will soon understand the danger and act quickly. If they don’t, the imminent disaster will occur. Scientists hope that the active involvement of well-informed people will be crucial in preventing calamities and natural disasters caused by man-induced weather changes.
