5/4/3/2/1 NOTES # 5

5) *Global warming doesn't necessarily affect the region where it is emitted from sometimes it affects other regions. For example the emissions of the big quantities of smoke from the south of the United States affects the regions in the north side such as Main and New Hampshire.

*However, in this book there are very interesting oppositions to global warming theories. For instance, "and contrary to the conventional wisdom, global warming would not speed up the rise of sea level but might actually slow it down because increased evaporation from the oceans leads to more precipitation and increased ice accumulation in the polar regions.

*Many scientists show "concern" in public but voice doubts in private.

*Economy is the biggest enemy of the rising of the global warming.

*In the atmosphere, there is a hole as big as the United States, and this provokes the solar beams to come and hit the Earth at a higher temperature.

4) *How does something emitted in a place affects other regions?

*Who is right the opposites or the supporters of global warming?

*How would economy be affected by global warming? If then after the consequences will be more expensive.

3) *Scrutiny: examination.

*Pollutant: noxious waste.

*Wrought: produced.

2) *Vocabulary word: in this part of the book, the author refers to human as fallible humans, and fallible is one of the vocabulary words from our lesson number 10.

*Dialogue: at this point of the book, a dialogue is shown between two scientists but is only about 10 lines. These two scientists bandy about the global warming, so in that way we can see two different points of view.

1) In point of view #6, different effects of Global Warming are shown. For example, the book refers that the mission of different gases in the south side of the United States does not affect them; instead they affect the north side (Maine and New Hampshire) with acid rain. Moreover, it also criticizes the "concern" of some scientists that then in private voice their debts.
