Read the passage, then decide the following statements are True(T) or False ( F): The Earth has got warmer since the 1990s. This will have serious effect on agriculture. In warmer areas, it will be too dry. The amount of water could decrease by fifty percent. This could cause a large decrease in agriculture production. World temperatures could increase two degree centigrade by the year 2040. This could cause the ice sheets to melt and raise the level of the oceans by one or two meters. Many coastal cities would be under water. Why is this happening? There is too much carbon dioxide in the air. When oil, gas and coal burn, they create large amounts of carbon dioxide. This is carbon dioxide that lets sunlight enter the Earth’s atmosphere and heat the Earth. However, it does not let as much heat leave the atmosphere and enter space. It is like a blanket. The heat can pass through the blanket to warn the Earth. The heat stays there and cannot get through the blanket again. Scientists call it the Greenhouse Effect. A greenhouse is a building for growing plants. It is made of glass and clear plastic. These scientists say that we must start planning now. We need to do research so we can predict what will happen. We must conserve coal, oil, and gas. 41. World temperatures could decrease since the 1990s 42. Warmer world temperatures could cause a large decrease in agriculture production 43.
