Man has long wanted to fly He saw birds, envied them and tried to imitate them Over the ages countless attempts were

made: men constructed wings, fastened them to their arms and legs and jumped off towers and hill tops These "bird-men"flapped their wings for a short space of time and then fell to the ground What was not realised in those early years was thatbirds have muscles very much stronger, in proportion to their size, than men Human limbs cannot provide sufficient strength

to lift the body off the ground The secret of flight did not lie in the making of wings, but in discovering the right kind ofpower, and how to use it

In the 18th century, the invention of the hot-air balloon by the Montgolfier brothers of France was seen as a great stepforward In 1783, in the presence of the King and Queen, it took three passengers safely up into the air and down again Theywere sheep, a cock and a duck Soon ballooning became a fashionable pastime But balloons and the cigar-shaped airship,which was invented slightly later, did not solve the problem of flying because they had no means of power or control: theirdesigners could not find an engine strong enough yet light enough to drive the aircraft The airship went where the wind blew

it, could lose height and could easily catch fire As a means of passenger transport, it turned out to be neither practical nor

safe So the difficulty remained: a true flying machine which was heavier than air and capable of carrying people was still to

be invented Experiments were carried out in many countries, sometimes with models driven by steam engine, but these weretoo heavy to be used in an aeroplane with a pilot

The answer finally came at the beginning of this century with the invention of the internal combustion engine - the kindused in motor cars Here at last was a powerful, yet comparatively light engine driven by petrol and capable of being fittedinto an aeroplane

In 1903, two Americans, the brothers Wilbur and Orville Wright, flew a powered aeroplane for the first time Their successencouraged designers everywhere Although there were now newer, different problems, mainly to do with safety and the

training of pilots, progress was rapid These were exciting days and interest was intense At Reims, 1909, a crowd of a

against his sleeve to shine it .(21) his interest, he found that the rubbed amber attracted small bits of lint, feathers, anddried leaves This property of attraction was a strange characteristic which he thought only amber had Today, our word

electricity still goes back to Thales' early discovery about amber.

WHAT IS HAPPENING TO OUR WEATHER?

What is "extreme" weather? Why are people talking about it these days? Extreme weather is very unusual rain, heat, and

storms For example, in 2010, 13 inches of rain fell in two days in Nashville, US According to weather experts, that was a

"once in 1,000 years" event But these days, extreme weather events are more frequent Also in 2010, 11 inches of rain fell in

Rio de Janeiro in 24 hours, and there was record rainfall in Pakistan.

The effects of this kind of rain are dramatic In Rio de Janeiro, landslides followed the rain Hundreds of people died In

Pakistan, it caused floods that affected 20 million people The opposite situation is drought, when no rain falls Australia,

Russia, and East Africa have suffered major droughts in the last ten years Another example of extreme weather is a heatwave, such as in the summer of 2003 In Europe, 35,000 people died from heat‐related problems

So, what is happening? Are these extreme events part of a natural cycle? Are they happening because human activity affectsthe Earth’s climate? The answer, Peter Miller says, is probably a combination of both of these things On the one hand, themost important influences on weather events are natural cycles in the climate Two of the most famous cycles are called ElNiño and La Niña They start in the Pacific Ocean, but they affect weather all around the world

On the other hand, the Earth’s oceans are changing: their temperatures are increasing And this is a result of human activity.The greenhouse gases we produce mean the atmosphere warms up Warmer oceans produce more water vapour - think aboutwhat happens when you heat a pan of water in your kitchen Information from satellites tells us that there is four percent morewater vapour in the atmosphere than 25 years ago This warm, wet air turns into rain, storms, hurricanes, and typhoons Michael Oppenheimer, a climate scientist, says that we need to accept reality Our weather is changing and we need to act tosave lives and money
