Audio script:
The polar regions are particularly vulnerable to a warming atmosphere. Average temperatures in the Arctic are rising twice as fast as they are elsewhere on earth, and the world’s ice sheets are melting fast. This not only has grave consequences for the region’s people, wildlife, and plants; its most serious impact may be on rising sea levels. By the year 2100, it’s estimated our oceans will be one to four feet higher, threatening coastal systems and low-lying areas, including entire island nations and the world’s largest cities, including New York, Los Angeles, and Miami as well as Mumbai, Sydney, and Rio de Janeiro.
There’s no question: Climate change promises a frightening future, and it’s too late to turn back the clock. We’ve already taken care of that by pumping a century’s worth of pollution into the air nearly unchecked. Even if we stopped all carbon dioxide emissions tomorrow, we’d still see some effects. That, of course, is the bad news. But there’s also good news. By aggressively reducing our global emissions now, we can avoid a lot of the severe consequences that climate change would otherwise bring
Các vùng cực đặc biệt dễ bị ảnh hưởng khi bầu không khí nóng lên. Nhiệt độ trung bình ở Bắc Cực đang tăng nhanh gấp đôi so với những nơi khác trên trái đất và các tảng băng trên thế giới đang tan nhanh. Điều này không chỉ gây ra hậu quả nghiêm trọng đối với người dân, động vật hoang dã và thực vật trong khu vực; tác động nghiêm trọng nhất của nó có lẽ là mực nước biển dâng cao. Đến năm 2100, ước tính các đại dương của chúng ta sẽ cao hơn một đến bốn feet, đe dọa các hệ thống ven biển và các khu vực thấp bao gồm toàn bộ các quốc đảo và các thành phố lớn nhất thế giới, bao gồm New York, Los Angeles và Miami cũng như Mumbai, Sydney, và Rio de Janeiro.
Không còn nghi ngờ gì nữa: Biến đổi khí hậu sẽ mang lại một tương lai đáng sợ và đã quá muộn để quay ngược kim đồng hồ. Chúng ta đã xử lý vấn đề đó bằng cách xả lượng ô nhiễm trong một thế kỷ vào không khí một cách gần như không được kiểm soát. Ngay cả khi chúng ta dừng tất cả lượng khí thải Cacbon điôxít vào ngày mai, chúng ta vẫn sẽ thấy một số hiệu ứng. Đó tất nhiên là tin xấu. Nhưng cũng có tin tốt. Bằng cách giảm mạnh lượng khí thải toàn cầu của chúng ta ngay bây giờ, chúng ta có thể tránh được rất nhiều hậu quả nghiêm trọng mà biến đổi khí hậu mang tới.Đáp án: B. Twice faster
