Reducing the Effects of Climate Change

Mark Rowe reports on the increasingly ambitious geo-engineering projects being explored by scientists

A
Such is our dependence on fossil fuels, and such is the volume of carbon dioxide already released into the
atmosphere, that many experts agree that significant global warming is now inevitable. They believe that
the best we can do is keep it at a reasonable level, and at present, the only serious option for doing this is
cutting back on our carbon emissions. But while a few countries are making major strides in this regard, the
majority are having great difficulty even stemming the rate of increase, let alone reversing it.
Consequently, an increasing number of scientists are beginning to explore the alternative of geo-
engineering — a term which generally refers to the intentional large-scale manipulation of the
environment. According to its proponents, geo-engineering is the equivalent of a backup generator: if Plan
A – reducing our dependency on fossil fuels – fails, we require a Plan B, employing grand schemes to slow
down or reverse the process of global warming.

B
Geo-engineering; has been shown to work, at least on a small localised scale. For decades, May Day
parades in Moscow have taken place under clear blue skies, aircraft having deposited dry ice, silver iodide
and cement powder to disperse clouds. Many of the schemes now suggested look to do the opposite, and
reduce the amount of sunlight reaching the planet. The most eye-catching idea of all is suggested by
Professor Roger Angel of the University of Arizona. His scheme would employ up to 16 trillion minute
spacecraft, each weighing about one gram, to form a transparent, sunlight-refracting sunshade in an orbit
1.5 million km above the Earth. This could, argues Angel, reduce the amount of light reaching the Earth by
two per cent.

Page 5 of 11
C
The majority of geo-engineering projects so far carried out — which include planting forests in deserts and
depositing iron in the ocean to stimulate the growth of algae – have focused on achieving a general cooling
of the Earth. But some look specifically at reversing the melting at the poles, particularly the Arctic. The
reasoning is that if you replenish the ice sheets and frozen waters of the high latitudes, more light will be
reflected back into space, so reducing the warming of the oceans and atmosphere.

D
The concept of releasing aerosol sprays into the stratosphere above the Arctic has been proposed by several
scientists. This would involve using sulphur or hydrogen sulphide aerosols so that sulphur dioxide would
form clouds, which would, in turn, lead to a global dimming. The idea is modelled on historic volcanic
explosions, such as that of Mount Pinatubo in the Philippines in 1991, which led to a short-term cooling of
global temperatures by 0.5 °C. Scientists have also scrutinised whether it’s possible to preserve the ice
sheets of Greenland with reinforced high-tension cables, preventing icebergs from moving into the sea.
Meanwhile, in the Russian Arctic, geo-engineering plans include the planting of millions of birch trees.
Whereas the -regions native evergreen pines shade the snow an absorb radiation, birches would shed their
leaves in winter, thus enabling radiation to be reflected by the snow. Re-routing Russian rivers to increase
cold water flow to ice-forming areas could also be used to slow down warming, say some climate
scientists.

E
But will such schemes ever be implemented? Generally speaking, those who are most cautious about geo-
engineering are the scientists involved in the research. Angel says that his plan is ‘no substitute for
developing renewable energy: the only permanent solution’. And Dr. Phil Rasch of the US-based Pacific
Northwest National Laboratory is equally guarded about the role of geo-engineering: ‘I think all of us agree
that if we were to end geo-engineering on a given day, then the planet would return to its pre-engineered
condition very rapidly, and probably within ten to twenty years. That’s certainly something to worry
about.’

F
The US National Center for Atmospheric Research has already suggested that the proposal to inject sulphur
into the atmosphere might affect rainfall patterns across the tropics and the Southern Ocean. ‘Geo-
engineering plans to inject stratospheric aerosols or to seed clouds would act to cool the planet, and act to
increase the extent of sea ice,’ says Rasch. ‘But all the models suggest some impact on the distribution of
precipitation.’

G
A further risk with geo-engineering projects is that you can “overshoot Y says Dr Dan Hunt, from the
University of Bristol’s School of Geophysical Sciences, who has studied the likely impacts of the sunshade
and aerosol schemes on the climate. ‘You may bring global temperatures back to pre-industrial levels, but
the risk is that the poles will still be warmer than they should be and the tropics will be cooler than before
industrialisation.’To avoid such a scenario,” Hunt says, “Angel’s project would have to operate at half
strength; all of which reinforces his view that the best option is to avoid the need for geo-engineering
altogether.”

H
The main reason why geo-engineering is supported by many in the scientific community is that most
researchers have little faith in the ability of politicians to agree – and then bring in — the necessary carbon
cuts. Even leading conservation organisations see the value of investigating the potential of geo-
engineering. According to Dr Martin Sommerkorn, climate change advisor for the World Wildlife Fund’s
International Arctic Programme, ‘Human-induced climate change has brought humanity to a position
where we shouldn’t exclude thinking thoroughly about this topic and its possibilities.’

Social Housing in Britain

A.  During the past 20 years in Britain there has been a significant decrease in the number of social homes
in the housing stock, down from 5.3m to 4.8m. The proportion of social housing has fallen from 29% to
18% during the same period. This is largely due to the policies of Margaret Thatcher's government during
the 1980's which forced local councils to sell homes under market price to existing tenants under a 'right to
buy' scheme and prevented them from building new houses. New social homes were then to be paid for by
central government and managed by local housing associations.

B.  Next month, the government is expected to announce a significant increase in the Social Housing
Department's £1.7 billion annual budget and also intends to make the application process for social housing

Page 7 of 11
simpler. The additional £2 billion will build about 50,000 new houses each year at current building costs.
Still more houses could be built if subsidies were reduced.
C.  The UK government is hoping that the extra investment will improve the housing situation. Britain with
her increasing population builds fewer new houses than are needed, with a shortfall of 100,000 a year
according to Shelter, a housing charity. The result is a boom in house prices that has made owning a home
unaffordable for many, especially in London and the south of England. Key public sector workers, such as
nurses and teachers, are among those affected.

D.   In order to increase the social housing stock the government is using a process known as planning gain.
Town councils are increasing the amount of social housing developers must build as part of a new building
project and which they must give to the local housing association. Even without the financial support of
central the government, some local councils in England are using planning gain to increase the proportion
of social housing stock. In expensive Cambridge, the council wants 25% of new housing to be social; the
figure is 35% in Bristol, while Manchester is planning 40% over the next twenty years.

E.  Will this housing policy create new sink estates? Hopefully, not. Housing planners have learnt from the
mistakes of the 1960s and 1970s when large council housing estates were constructed. Builders have got
better at design and planning mixed-use developments where social housing is mixed with, and
indistinguishable from, private housing. Social housing developments are winning design awards - a
project in London won the Housing Design Award — though it is true that some council estates that now
illustrate some of the worst aspects of 1960s architecture won awards at the time.

F.  The management of social housing stock has largely moved from local councils to housing associations.
Housing associations look after the maintenance of the existing housing stock, getting repairs done and
dealing with problems like prostitution and drugs while employing estate security and on-site maintenance
staff. One significant change is that planners have learned to build smaller housing developments.

G.  The significant drawback of social housing still remains: it discourages mobility. What happens to the
nurse who lives in cheap social housing in one town, and is offered a job in a region that does not provide
her with new social housing? The government wants to encourage initiative but is providing a housing
system that makes it difficult for people to change their lives. Public-sector workers are increasingly being
priced out of London and other expensive parts of the country and, as a result, are unable to take advantage
of opportunities available to them.

IV. WRITING (60 points)

PART 1 (15 points)
Read the following passage and use your own words to summarize it. You MUST NOT copy or re-
write the original. Your summary should be about 100 words long.
Euro
The euro is the official currency of the European Union (EU) countries, stretching from the Mediterranean
to the Arctic. The EU was formed to strengthen political and economic ties between its members. Joining
together and using a single European currency brought out numerous benefits. People can travel more
easily without the hassle of converting currencies every time they cross a border. The euro helps supply a
single market for financial operators: banks, insurers, investment, funds, pension funds, etc. At the same
time, small national capital markets evolve into a larger and more liquid financial market. In addition, the
euro takes an important role as an international investment and reserve currency and relates to the political
integration in Europe.
Over 300 million people in Europe today use the euro. But making and choosing the euro as Europe’s
common currency took a long time. When it was introduced into international markets in 1999, countries
that joined the EU had to begin using the euro immediately. However, the currency was used in the form of
travelers’ checks, electronic transfers and banking transactions when introduced at first. Euro coins and
banknotes were not used as money until January 1, 2002. It took only two months for the member countries
to start to withdraw their national currency notes and coins from circulation. However, some countries still
continue to accept the old currencies.
The euro currency sign (€) has become as ubiquitous as the dollar symbol. It was generally known that the
European Commission chose the design after a public survey, but it was created by Arthur Eisenmenger
more than a quarter of a century ago before the euro currency was proposed. He designed the “brand new
sign”, which uses the Greek letter epsilon, to act as a general symbol of Europe. It was one of his last
assignments when he was a chief graphic designer for the European Economic Community. Once, his wife
said, “He does not want money for it, just a ‘thank you’ would be nice.”

The charts below show the average maximum temperature for each month and the average monthly
rainfall in two cities of China: Beijing and Hong Kong.
Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons
where relevant.
Write at least 150 words.

The given bar graph illustrates the average highest temperature for each month and the
monthly rainfall in two cities Bejing and Hong Kong.

Overall, the average maximum temperature for June to August. The millimetres of Hong
Kong always higher than Beijing in every month.
In the line graph, the temperauture by month in Hong Kong and Bejing have slightly
increased from January to June and decreased from August to December. Especially, two
cites have the same 30 celsius from June to August.

Page 10 of 11
We can see in the bar chart that the average millimeters rainfall in Hong Kong has a little
rise from January to April. But from May to June, it has dramatically decreased, about over
200 millimetres to 400 millimeters. After September, it has ignificantly decreased from 300
millimeters to 30 millimeters in December.

PART 3 (30 points)

Write about the following topic:
People should be allowed to continue to work for as long as they want to, and not be forced to retire at a
particular age such as 60 or 65.
Do you agree or disagree?
Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or
experience.
Write at least 250 words.

It is argued that employees ought not to be allowed to go on retirement, therefore, workers

should be in service for a very long time. This essay totally disagrees with this school of
thought because it will not enable fresh ideas to be injected into the system and the old
population demand to rest after working for many years.

Retiring the tired hands in services of the nation will enhance the introduction of new
processes into the system. This will enable the influx of young school graduates and able-
bodied men to bring current knowledge and methods to solving existing problems.
Consequently, there will be a utilization of the money spent on educating the young ones,
which will not be wasted eventually. For example, public sectors in Nigeria used to be
dominated by old workers, which made the processing of land documents
such as building approval to be extremely slow, but the bureaucracy was removed
immediately after the young population were employed.

Another reason to allow old employees to go on retirement is for them to relax after an
extended period of stress at work. This is because as society gets older, the body structure
tends to be wicker and a lot of diseases appears in the body after being used for so many
years in service. As a result, there would be a reduction in workers’ efficiency if they are
not asked to leave the work permanently. For instance, a recent study in Nigeria showed
that the work rate of society that is above the age of 55 tend to reduce drastically because of
the inherent ailment and it is, therefore advisable to allow them to go on withdrawal.

In conclusion, people who have advanced in age and worked for several years ought to
proceed on evacuation in order for them to relax and allow revamping of the organization
with new techniques for better efficiency.
