Global warming is a phenomenon that refers to the long-term increase in Earth’s average temperature. It is primarily caused by the accumulation of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, such as carbon dioxide and methane. These gases act like a blanket, trapping heat from the sun and preventing it from escaping back into space. As a result, the Earth's temperature gradually rises, leading to a range of environmental and climatic changes. The main contributors to global warming are human activities. The burning of fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, and gas, for energy production and transportation, releases large amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Deforestation, which involves the clearing of forests for various purposes, also adds to the problem. Trees play a crucial role in absorbing carbon dioxide through photosynthesis, so when forests are destroyed, there are fewer natural mechanisms to remove these greenhouse gases from the atmosphere. The consequences of global warming are wide-ranging and can be seen around the world. Rising temperatures lead to the melting of ice caps and glaciers, resulting in a rise in sea levels. This poses a notable threat to coastal areas and low-lying regions, increasing the risk of flooding and the loss of land. Extreme weather events, such as hurricanes, droughts, and heatwaves, are becoming more frequent and severe, causing damage to infrastructure, agriculture, and human lives. Furthermore, global warming disrupts ecosystems and biodiversity, endangering many plant and animal species. (Adapted from epa.gov/climatechange-science/basics-climate-change) Question 29.

Global warming is primarily caused by the accumulation of greenhouse gases. B. Deforestation contributes to global warming by releasing carbon dioxide. C. Rising temperatures lead to a decrease in sea levels. D. Human activities, such as burning fossil fuels, contribute to global warming. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C [or D] on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 34 to 40. The costs and benefits of global warming will vary greatly from area to area. For moderate climate change, the balance can be difficult to assess. But the larger the change in climate, the more negative the consequences will become. Global warming will probably make life harder, not easier, for most people This is mainly because we have already built enormous infrastructure based on the climate we now have. People in some temperate zones may benefit from milder winters, more abundant rainfall, and expanding crop production zones. But people in other areas will suffer from increased heat waves, coastal erosion, rising sea level more erratic rainfall, and droughts. The crops, natural vegetation, and domesticated and wild animals (including seafood) that sustain people in a given area may be unable to adapt to local or regional changes in climate. The ranges of diseases and insect pests that are limited by temperature may expand, if other environmental conditions are also favourable. In its summary report on the impacts of climate change, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change stated, "Taken as a whole, the range of published evidence indicates that the net damage costs of climate change are likely to be significant and to increase over time.” Question 34.
