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.
According to the first paragraph,______.
选项
A、there is less extreme weather
B、the global temperature is always stable
C、the globe is not warming
D、carbon dioxide delays global warming
答案
C
解析
事实细节题。本题考查作者对于全球变暖导致气候变化这一观点的看法。南定位句可知,全球变暖导致更多极端天气的说法是有问题的,因为它是假设全球正在变暖。由此推断,在作者看来,一些人首先提到了一个错误的假设,之后导致了一个错误结论的产生,故C)“地球并没有正在变暖”为本题答案。A)“极端天气减少了”不符合原文,故排除;B)“地球温度一直稳定”属于过度推断,作者在下文中提到全球气温在过去十多年的时间里一直很稳定,但并不意味着全球气温就一直保持这样的状态从没有变化过,故排除;D)“二氧化碳延缓了全球变暖”不符合原文,故排除。
