The argument that global warming is causing more extreme weather is problematic because it presumes the globe is warming. In fact, the global temperature trend line has been stable for more than a dozen years, while carbon dioxide has increased 7% . If carbon dioxide was the driver, then why have global temperatures stopped increasing?
Keep in mind that carbon dioxide represents 0. 0395% of the Earth’s atmosphere. Arguing that carbon dioxide is driving the small temperature variations in our climate as opposed to the oceans, which cover 70% of the planet and have 1,000 times the heat capacity of air, or the output of our sun, is scientifically disturbing.
Weather is more publicized nowadays because of its impact on society and the constant push of the global warming agenda. Increases in population result in more people being in the path of Mother Nature’s great anger. Global warming activists attribute every major weather event to man because they are either uninformed about history, or choose to ignore it. The latest claims resulting from this series of hot and dry summers ignore the fact that more state heat records were set in the 1930s than all other decades of the last century combined. Anyone remember the Dust Bowl?
Seven major hurricanes hit the East Coast from 1954 to 1960. Now that we are in a pattern similar to the 1950s, the East Coast is vulnerable once again, and attributing events like Hurricane Irene to global warming is incorrect. All the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change(IPCC)projections for our climate have proved to be wrong. Global temperatures have stopped increasing and are nowhere near estimates made a decade ago. The IPCC incorrectly predicted Arctic sea ice would disappear by now.
After Katrina in 2005, more and stronger hurricanes were forecast to be the future. The Accumulated Cyclone Energy Index for the globe has instead declined to the lowest level in 30 years. This does not mean we will not see warm weather and land-falling hurricanes. We are in a pattern similar to the 1950s when U. S. heat and drought as well as East Coast land-falling hurricanes were quite prevalent.
Perhaps when the Atlantic becomes cold, we will be hearing Ice Age scares again as we did in the 1970s.
The author suggests the global warming activists ___ ___.
选项
A、pay more attention to historical records
B、do not publicize weather too much
C、control increase in population
D、do not blame man for global warming
答案
A
解析
推理判断题。由定位句可知,作者认为全球变暖的积极分子们把每个重要的天气现象都归咎于人类的做法是不正确的,因为他们缺乏历史知识或是选择忽略历史。可见,在作者看来,这些人在考虑气候变化因素的时候,也应该把历史上的记录作为一个参考值,故A)“多关注历史记录”为本题答案。B)“不要过多宣传天气”是对原文的错误理解,作者并未提出人们这种做法是不妥当的,故排除;C)“控制人口增长”不在全球变暖的积极分子们的职责范围之内,故排除;D)“不要为了全球变暖而责备人类”是对原文的错误理解,作者的意见是不要把人类作为气候变化的唯一原因,而不是说人类可以免除责任,故排除。
