disasters over the past few years, and it is assumed that global warming and climate change could cause even more disasters in the future. some of the worlds leading cities are facing disasters like floods and heat waves. londonlondons flood defences are getting older. since 1982, the thames barrier(水闸)has protected the city from the threat of flooding, but it was only designed to last until 2030 and close once every two or three years. about 26 years later the barrier now closes five or six times a year and according to environment agency predictions, by 2050 the barrier will be closed on

turn, warmer seas increase the risk of typhoons. 【文章大意】近年来全球自然灾害的数量剧增, 据预测, 在将来, 全球变暖, 气候变化将会导致更多的灾难。让我们看一看世界上的大城市将会面临什么样的灾难。1. what problem should be settled now in london?a. how to protect the citys
