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. [br] What does the author imply in the last paragraph?
选项
A、People should not focus on climate change.
B、People should not blame carbon dioxide any more.
C、People should not overstate climate change.
D、People should not worry about extreme weather.
答案
C
解析
推理判断题。文章第一段中作者否定了全球变暖这个所谓的事实,进而又通过一些科学数据提出认为二氧化碳导致全球变暖的说法是站不住脚的,从而否定了人类活动是全球变暖的主因这一论点。之后作者又提出人们对天气变化往往都过于担心,并夸大人类对于天气的影响。因此总的来说,作者在全文中传达的观点就是人们过度推断、预测并夸大天气的变化。在最后一段,作者提出当大西洋变冷的时候,我们或许又会听到上世纪70年代听说过的冰河时代恐慌了,故C)“人们不应过度夸大气候变化”为本题答案。A)“人们不应该关注气候变化”和D)“人们不应该担心极端天气”是对原文的错误理解,故排除;B)“人们不应该再归罪于二氧化碳”不是作者通过最后一段要传达的意思,故排除。
