According to our data
search, we've discovered many articles on the greenhouse
effect. Some serious disasters have caused bad effects on
man, but, many may still not know. Here we have put some of
the more important clippings, and if you wish to know more,
the links are below, and connect to much more information.
We've divided the pages by
year, and after discussion between the team members, decided
the articles. We hope more people can understand what is
happening because of the greenhouse effect and climate
changes. |

Scientists photo a shocking scene: two polar bears trapped
on floating ice |

Newspaper
Excerpt
English
media reports that scientist have photographed a shocking
site in the north pole; two polar bears carefully floating
on floating ice, and stuck there. This has become a symbol
of the tragedy of global warming.
According to English newspaper Daily Post, though polar
bears can swim up to 10 kilometers in water to safely reach
land, with the melting of polar ice, they have to swim
farther and farther to reach land now.
Canada's
Wildlife Bureau Dr. Ian Sterling says,"For polar bears,
swimming 100 miles isn't a big deal, especially polar bears
with more body fat. However, because of warmer climates, ice
is farther away from land now, and will cost more energy to
reach, making them vulnerable to attack." Not long ago, four
polar bears were found drowned on the Alaskan shores.

Newspaper Excerpt
Everyone's
heard the"Frog Effect " story: If you put a from in a pot
of boiling water, it will jump out and escape right away;
but if you put it in a pot of cold water and slowly boil the
water, it will stay inside until it is finally cooked. Well,
in the face of new evidence of global warming, will humans
face the same destiny?
Experts point
out that it has become a difficult mission fighting global
warming. It's like the from in the water, humans can not
really see the threat.
According to reports, the report
about to be published by the UN has been started by 2500
scientists. It states that in the past 50 years global
temperatures have risen, and 90% of this is because of human
activity, mainly the burning of fossil fuels.

China's climate warming increases, food safety is concerning |
|
Newspaper
Excerpt
At the
end of 2006, the Science and Technology Department,
Weather Bureau, and Science Academy of China announced
the"Report on Climate Changing Countries", which took 4
years to make. It reports that the Chinese government
has raised it's alertness on climate changes and
especially global warming.
The report predicts that in the next
hundred years, warming climates will be the mainstream
of China's climate changes. The speeding up of warming
climates may cause the frequencies of extreme weather to
increase. China, as a country easily influenced by
climate changes has to scientifically make and carry out
the national plans on responding to climate changes, and
is currently the most important question to Chinese
meteorologists.
