5)*In this viewpoint, Friends of the Earth Scotland (an organization) argues that nuclear power is not a practical alternative to fossil-fuel energy sources in attempting to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions associated with global warming.
*"Nuclear power is not cost effective in reducing carbon dioxide emissions, poses serious problems to environmental safety, and contributes carbon dioxide to the atmosphere through uranium mining and plant construction." Page #191
*It has become clear that nuclear power cannot exist in a competitive energy market without significant subsidy from the UK government.
*"If fully comprehensive insurance was required to cover all of the risks of nuclear accidents, the cost of electricity from nuclear power would increase many times from the present level." Page #191
*Countries in Central and Eastern Europe, are continuing to build new nuclear plants even though it has been shown that investment in energy efficient measures is the quickest and fastest way to tackle their energy crises.
4) *How is it possible that nuclear power produces energy faster?
*How long would it take to finish global warming with nuclear power?
*Who created the idea of nuclear power?
*How does it affect the economy?
3) *Solely: exclusively.
*Monetary: financial.
*Scrutiny: examination.
2) *Variation: the topic of the point of view again changes. Now the author refers to nuclear power as a solution to global warming.
*Dénouement: "The external costs of nuclear power include the cost of environmental damage".
1) At the end of the book, we can conclude that all this types of solutions and effects to the global warming have their own point of view. Each one of the opinions is very credible and discussable, this mean their theory could be true or could be just trash. Besides, the different opinions show all the different way of thinking all around the world depending in the conditions. This means that their points of view are based on their surroundings and needs.

5)*The sun is a star that provides the earth with most of its energy. The sun's temperature is about 6,000 degrees C. and its radiation of light and heat across vats distances of space weakens in proportion to the inverse square of that distance.
*"Solar-Max" satellite provided us with a 9-year old sample of solar radiation from 1980 to 1989 that proved conclusively that the sun was indeed a variable star.
*The Shanghai's observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences provided even further evidence of the Sun's variability in April 1990. They reported that the radius of the sun had shrunk 410 kilometers from 1715 to 1987.
*Scientists can measure the variability of the Sun by either direct measurement of its radiation, as done by the "Solar- Max", or by its emission of microwave energy.
*"The most remarkable event in the last 500 years was the 'Maunder Minimum', a 50-year period from 1650 to 1700 when there were hardly any sunspots at all, indicating a proportioned longed cooler period on the Sun.
4)*How can the sun's energy travel so far away?
*What is the cause of the sun's radiation of light?
*Why does the sun have cycles of heat and less heat?
*When did the sun appear the first time?
3) *Shrink: to reduce in size.
*Blemish: spot.
*Nimbus: radiance.
*Proxy: alternative.
2)*Repetition: the author of this argument repeats the word "maximum" at least ten times throughout his whole scripture.
*Tone: the tone of the author of this opinion seems to be serious about the sun's radiation causing global warming. Moreover, his type of writing is formal and like that he attracts audiences.
1) View point number three of the second chapter is the introduction to a completely new theory about global warming. This theory refers to the sun's radiation as the cause of global warming on Earth. According to John L. Daly, the sun has cycles in which heat is either increasing or decreasing every 10-12 years approximately. That sun's radiations are cause by blemishes in the sun that are the points in which radiation is emitted the most. There is evidence that the sun changes its radiation throughout the time, for instance, The Shanghai's observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences provided even further evidence of the Sun's variability in April 1990. They reported that the radius of the sun had shrunk 410 kilometers from 1715 to 1987.

5)*Around the whole world, the main causes of death are chronic diseases, responsible for 24 million deaths in 1996, such as maladies of the circulatory system, cancers, mental disorders, none of the which has to do with climate but everything to do with aging.
*”Diarrheal diseases, such as cholera and dysentery, killed 2.5 million people who died worldwide in 1996”. Page # 130
*Death rates during the heat waves, more often confronted by these times, have jumped over certain cities considered poor cities such as cities in Central America.
*The scientist’s studies have found out that the major excess of death provoked by increasing temperatures is located in the South. Besides their studies have found that people who move from a cold to a subtropical climate adjust within a very short period.
*Experts have attributed the strength of the Southern people against the climate to the acclimatization and the prevalence of housing that shields residents from high temperatures.
4)*Aren’t the Diarrheal diseases provoked by the uncleanness?
*How can diseases that come from other regions adapt that fast?
*Why does a person from a cold region can adapt to climate faster than a person from a warm region?
*Does the population from the South have a stronger immunization system?
3)*torrid: hot.
*Affliction: suffering.
*Alleges: claim.
*Dyspepsia: indigestion.
2)* Foil: the author of this point of view contrasts every other author in the whole book because he is the only one who attributes the resent cases of diarrheal diseases to the immigration problem.
1) The reading now has turned to another chapter, in which now another theory of global warming has been reveled. Nevertheless, in my opinion this theory is very insufficient and ignorant. The theory establishes that with the global warming the immunization of our bodies will not be affected by any reason; that those diarrheal diseases that are more often attacking the United States, have been brought by the immigrants, which scientists have disapproved because it takes a very long period for the virus to develop specially when climate is changing at a very high rate.
