全球变暖英语作文
作文一
People around the world may feel that the climate has been getting steadily warmer and warmer in recent years. Places which used to be abundant in snowfall have frequently experienced snowfree winters. Drought lasts longer in some dry areas. People find that without air conditioners they could hardly work or fall asleep on hotter summer days.
The side effects of global warming are alarminS. A warmer global climate melts the ice caps, raising sea levels. What is more, it disturbs weather patterns, causing droughts, severe storms, hurricanes. People suffer a lot from disasters relevant to global warming.
To stop global warming we should make immediate and continual efforts. We hope the situation will soon change. Global warming catches and holds our concern, for it affects us and will affect our later generations. We cannot wait any longer. Do it. Do it right. Do it right now.

Environmental Protection
No one，regardless of race, religion or nationality, can deny that the world we live in is becoming increasingly intolerable because of the effects of global warming. According to many experts, even greater impacts are still on the way.
There are numerous causes for this problem. On one hand, human-related emissions of carbon into the atmosphere is causing, and will in the future cause, significant global warming according to the theory. On the other hand, the lack of knowledge about the importance of protecting environment hinders the solving of the problem.
It is urgent that immediate and effective actions should be taken right away. First, more trees need to be planted to help improve and beautify the environment. Besides, stricter laws concerning global warming and irresponsible use of fuel resources have to be put into effect and achieved good results. In a word, there is a long way to go before we can take a comfortable world for granted again .

With the development of economy, more and more greenhouse gases are being discharged into the air. CO2 makes up about 70% of the greenhouse gases, which is considered to be one of the greatest causes of global warming. It has harmful effects, causing the sea level to rise and many natural disasters to strike. So we must take effective measures to save our planet. First, we should use more clean energy and less coal and oil. Second, we should go to work on foot or by bus instead of driving a car if possible. Third, we should plant more trees, because plants can turn CO2 into oxygen. More importantly, we should form the habit of saving energy in our daily life.
作文四
Ladies and gentlemen,
Good morning, I am Li Hua from Tianjin, China . It’s my great honor to be here to talk about the global warming problem and ways of dealing with it.
Lately , global warming is becoming a serious problem. Several factors contribute to it. First of all, a lot of greenhouse gas is produced by cars and factories; furthermore, the loss of forests is another cause of global warming.{如何缓解全球变暖，英文}.
Global warming will cause some harmful effects. Firstly, some islands will disappear because of the rise of sea level. Secondly, extreme weather results from global warming. When temperature rises, the production of crops will decrease. Besides, some animals and plants will disappear, thus destroying the ecosystem.
So we should protect the earth from greenhouse gases. We should plant trees and reduce the amount of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. Hope our earth can become better and better.
That’s all. Thank you.

To Control the Global Warming
During the late 20 century, global warming became more and more bothering to human beings.
Nowadays, it is commonly acknowledged that to maintain permanent peace and development, environmental problems must be solved with highest priority. In my opinion, to control global warming, government should carry out sensible policies and common people also should take their resibonsibilities.
I can remember big snow came every year when I was a child, and the weather was so cold that I couldn‘t go outdoors without my scarf and hat. But these years, big snows are hard to see, and even in December, you needn’t wear too much because it’s not cold at all. The climate is changing. In the past decades, global warming arouse many countries attention and they do took some measures to ease this problem. However, though the Kyoto Protocol was signed, some countries are not willing to hold their pace of economic development. To drive the global warming under control, we still have a long way to go.
Governments are the main force in the combat against global warming. On the issues concerning global warming, the variety of attitudes toward global warming is a greatest obstacle for us to win this combat. So, at first, all the countries must reach an agreement on striking a balance between developing economy and solving this environmental problem. Then, some effective policies should be adopted to reduce the emission of the greenhouse gases.
Common people's involvements are the key to ease the global warming. One persons ablity is slight, but if every one can make a little effort, the achivement will be incredible. What can we do for it? I think first, we can learn something about global warming, to be aware of it and to know our resiponsiblities to this planet. In addition, we can should not to make greenhouse gases, specificlly, to take bus or ride bicycle instead of driving private car.
If we human beings can make joint effort to take care of this planet. I think global warming will certainly be solved in the near future.

THE CRISIS OF GLOBAL WARMING
Background: 全球变暖
Cause: 温室气体排放,其中大约70%为二氧化碳.
consequence : 海平面上升 自然灾害频繁
measures: 1节约家用电器 2少用机动车辆 3.植树造林
词数120个
Global warming has become one of the biggest environmental concerns for people all over the world.{如何缓解全球变暖，英文}.
With the development of economy, the emission of the greenhouse gas, consisting of about 70% carbon dioxide, has been steadily increased, contributing greatly to the global warming. The increase in the temperature of the earth has caused many harmful effects. It melts the ice caps, raising sea levels. It disturbs weather patterns, causing frequent natural disasters such as floods, droughts, severe storms, hurricanes (飓风), and so on.
Actually, it’s easy for everyone to do something to save energy and reduce the emission of
greenhouse gas. For example, turn off an electrical appliance if it is not used. Walking, cycling, carpooling or using public transportation instead of using motor vehicles are all good ways to reduce the emission of carbon dioxide.
We are also supposed to plant trees and preserve forests. Every individual counts and individuals together makes a big difference.

倡议书
1． 据报道，在过去的十年间，北极圈内的平均气温比以前升高了2—3摄氏度。
2． 2009年12月的哥本哈根世界气候峰会要求各国减少温室气体排放，拯救地球。
3． 2010年新年刚开始，极度寒冷的天气袭击了亚洲、欧洲和北美洲。恶劣的天气正是全球变暖的后果。
（就素材号召同学们行动起来积极应对地球变暖）
Dear fellow students,
It is reported that the average temperature within the Arctic Circle has risen by 2—3 degrees Celsius in the past ten years. At the Copenhagen Climate Summit 2009 all nations were required to reduce the greenhouse gas emission to save the earth. At the beginning of 2010, extremely cold weather hit Asia, Europe, and North America, which is the evidence of global warming.
As is known to all, our environment has been worsening due to human activities. If we don’t take effective measures now, human beings will not be able to survive in the future. If we can save energy, recycle waste and plant more trees, we can make the earth a better place. So let’s take action from now on! let’s save the earth.
作文八
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Good morning. I’m Li Hua from Fujian, China. It’s my great honor to be here to say something about the global water shortage and ways of dealing with it.
As we know, the global water shortage is becoming increasingly sever mainly due to global warming, environmental pollution and the ever-increasing population. Therefore, it’s high time we did something about it.
Firstly, an effective way, I think, is to reserve water in a scientific way for future use. Secondly, new methods need to be developed to use the existing waster resources, for example, turning sea water into fresh water. Thirdly, we must stoop water pollution by law. Last but not least, it’s everyone’s responsibility to make good use of water, such as recycling and saving water in our daily life.
In conclusion, people around the world should be aware of the real situation of water shortage, protect the present water resources and explore potential ones scientifically.

global warming and our life
Global warming has quickly become one of the most heated issues. With the development of the economy, the emission of the green house gas, consisting of about 70% carbon dioxide, has been increased, attributing greatly to the global warming.
Global warming is the slow and steady increase in the temperature of earth and its atmosphere. The increase in the temperature of earth has caused many effects like the melting of ice in Polar Regions, increase in disease occurrences, drastic climatic changes and rise of the sea level.
As the effects of global warming is becoming more and more evident, many of us have started to realize that steps have to be taken to control Global warming, such as the usage of clean energy resources and the alternative of motor.
作文十
One possible version:
Dear editor,
The curtain went down on the Copenhagen climate summit, leaving the world concerned more about global warming once again.
As is well known, it is human activity that has contributed to this problem. The burning of fossil fuels like coal, natural gas and oil produces greenhouse gases. When huge quantities of extra carbon dioxide are put into the atmosphere, more heat energy tends to be trapped in it causing the global temperature to go up.
However, the attitudes of scientists towards this rise are completely different. On the one hand, it’s predicted that there may be a rise of several metres in the sea level, extreme climate change or the disappearance of species. On the other hand, it’s supposed that the rise will make plants grow quicker and produce more, thus encouraging a greater range of animals.
It seems that the topic is controversial and there is a long way to go.

Global warming IS human made (Sat 19 Feb)
BNE: Findings from a new study __________ Friday proves that global warming is caused by human activity, and not by natural environmental factors. Researchers at the Scripps Institute of Oceanography have found __________ evidence of human-produced warming in the world's oceans that is likely to impact water resources in regions around the __________. This finding removes much of the uncertainty associated with __________ about global warming. Many world leaders have closed their ears to this fact so they don"t have to limit their economic activity or introduce expensive pollution controls. This is one of the reasons America has not signed the Kyoto Treaty on climate change. The US government prefers to believe global warming is a natural __________, caused by volcanoes and solar energy. Professor Tim Barnett said, “This is perhaps the most compelling evidence yet that global warming is happening right now and it shows that we can successfully __________ its past and likely future evolution.” Barnett says the results hold implications for millions of people in the near future.
