Summary for world wonders threatened advanced

 This article has been written to inform the reader about the extreme weather that will become commonplace in future years due to the winters that growing increasingly warm, and summer hot and dry, and as consequence water shortages will be the norm and will affect more than one billion people. Also, Global warming threatens to destroy some of the Earth's natural wonders too. The author added that the world government and environmental organizations are becoming more receptive to frank discussions on the changing climate and evidence continue to mount on how much damage we have done to the environment as a report stated that humankind's activities are cause number one for the warming experienced around the globe during the past half-decade. He also mentioned that if the climate models hold true, then the coral reefs everywhere will begin to lose their color and die, and that's with only a rise in water temperature of 1.8 degrees Farenheit. For instance, in Chile and Argentina, melting glaciers will mean a drier climate, which will lead to increased fires in the region. Eventually, he finished his article by saying that some of the damage is irreversible so the destruction of the coral reefs and other ecosystems, could be limited, if not prevented.

Why the Guardian is changing the language it uses about the environment (notes and summary)

Taking notes :

  • The Guardian introduces new terms that more accurately describe the environmental crises facing the world.
  • "climate change" was replaced by "climate emergency, crisis or breakdown" and the preferred term instead of "global warming " is "global heating".
  • It consider that those originals terms are passive and gentle to use them when talking about a serious problem.
  • The United States, Europe, and the pope used the"climate crisis" term.
  • The Labour party was the creator of the declaration of a "climate emergency".
  • The carbon emissions must halve by 2030 to avoid risks of droughts, floods, and poverty for hundreds of millions of people. 
  • Global scientists said human society is in big danger because of the destruction of the ecosystems that support all life on Earth.
  • other terms have been updated for example "wildlife" instead of "biodiversity" and "fish populations" instead of "fish stocks".
  • levels of CO2 in the atmosphere have risen so dramatically.
  • The Climate crisis is no longer a future problem we need to address it now and every day matters. 



Summary :

This is a summary of a newspaper article that has been written to inform the readers about the change that occurs on the terms used to describe the environmental crises (climate change and global warming ).
The author mentioned that the guardian introduces new terms that more accurately describe the environmental crises that become a serious problem facing the world. So they replaced the "climate change" term by "climate emergency, crisis, or breakdown" and the "global warming" term by 'global heating" because it considers that those old terms were passive and gentle when talking about a serious problem. Later, the United States, Europe, and the pope used the "climate crisis" term and the Labour party in Uk create the declaration of a "climate emergency".Global Scientist researchers said that the carbon emission must halve by 2030 to avoid risks of floods, droughts, and poverty of millions of people and they also asserted that human society also is in big danger because of the destruction of the ecosystems that support all life on Earth. Other terms have been also updated for example wildlife instead of biodiversity and fish populations instead of fish stocks. Finally, the author finished his article by talking about the levels of CO2 in the atmosphere that have risen so dramatically and that the climate crisis is no longer a future problem and we have to address it now and every day matters.
