READING PART:
THE FUTURE OF THE EARTH
The environment is a great worry for people around the world. There are many serious problems. These problems didn’t exist one hundred years ago. If we don’t do something about these problems soon, our planet will not survive as we know it.
These are just some of the environmental problems. First of all, there is air pollution in big cities. Cars and factories produce too much carbon dioxide (CO2).This causes the climate to become warmer. Scientists predict that it will soon be too hot for plants and animals to live.
Industrial gases like chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) are destroying the ozone in the Earth’s atmosphere. Scientists think that in the near future this will cause serious health problems like skin cancer.
Another problem is the destruction of rainforests. People are cutting down rainforests for wood and to build houses.40% of the world’s rainforests have disappeared in the last 80 years. Today in South America 50 hectares disappear every minute. Scientists forecast that, as a result of the destruction of their habitat, many animals and plants will disappear. Drinking water will also be a serious problem. Lakes, rivers and underground water sources are becoming polluted in many areas because of industrial and nuclear wastes. This will probably cause a serious shortage of drinking water in the future.
Today,94 % of the world’s energy comes from oil, gas and coal. But these fossil fuels are limited. There is only enough oil and gas for the next 50 years. Coal will last a little longer-perhaps 300 years. If people don’t save energy and develop new energy sources, there will be a great energy shortage in the near future.
