TEXT: Climate changes have always been part of the Earth's history. However, in the past two centuries, human populations have grown rapidly and this had led to an increased demand for energy and also for land resources. An increase in the rate at which fossil fuels are bumed and the change in the way land and other resources are used, is altering the Earth's balance of energy. Scientists believe that an increase in the @mount of greenhouse gases, a change in the way land is used and an increase in sulphate aerosols and black carbon are changing the climate on Earth, Greenhouse in the atmosphere helps to make the Earth a habitable planet. The gases are natural Part of the climate system and they help to keep the Earth warm. This is called the ‘greenhouse effect’ because the gases keep heat on the Earth in the same way as greenhouse does. Without the greenhouse effect, the average temperature on Earth would be -18°C, rather than the present average of 15°C. Water Vapour (H20) and carbon dioxide (CO2) are the two most important greenhouse gases.:The amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere has risen over the past two hundred and fifty years. This is largely due to the burning of fossil fuels for energy production. Gases from cattle farming, the cultivation of rice and from landfills have also contributed to the increase. Land-use changes when ecosystems are.changed and vegetation is either burned or removed, the carbon stored in dioxide. The principal reasons for deforestation are agriculture and urban growth, harvesting timber for fuel, construction and paper. ‘Sulphate aerosols enter the atmosphere naturally during volcanic eruptions and through the buming of fossil fuels by big industries. Black carbon is generated from industrial pollution, traffic, outdoor fires and buming of coal and biomass fuels. The carbon particles absorb sunlight, both heating the air and reducing the amount of sunlight reaching the ground. Adapted from ETTB/2 AJ QUESTIONS (5 marks) 4- Suggest a good title to this text.
