「As the pandemic continues, the climate crisis is still worsening. Scientists warn there’s a 98 percent chance of 2020 becoming one of the top five hottest years on record.
What are the consequences of global warming? Glaciers are receding, wildfires are burning. In addition, the oceans absorb 90 percent of the heat created by human activities; marine heat waves cause the bleaching of coral. For example, the Great Barrier Reef in Australia is now suffering its third major bleaching event.
友善讓你懂 │ 解說:
隨著疫情全球大流行,許多國家為了保持社交距離,也暫時降低人類的經濟活動。然而,即便人類活動暫時停止,但科學家發現,地球暖化趨勢依舊一去不回頭。
科學家警告,2020年有 98% 機率將成為史上最熱的前五年。地球暖化會造成哪些危機呢?除了冰川融化、森林大火,由於海洋會吸收人類排出的 9 成熱量,連帶讓熱浪愈來愈頻繁,將導致珊瑚白化現象。例如:目前澳洲大堡礁就正面臨第三次的珊瑚白化危機。
輕鬆帶著走 │ 學習:
地球暖化叫做Global warming,而地球暖化也是一種 Climate crisis(氣候危機)。
如果暖化持續,可能會帶來以下危機:
例句:The wildfires in Australia last year were a signal of climate crisis.
去年澳洲的森林大火,其實是氣候危機所發出的信號。
