belief that individuals are powerless to do anything about environmental problems and that it is governments that are in a position to act and have the responsibility to act Earth Care s letter suggests ways to save energy and therefore decrease the amount of carbon dioxide that is poured into the atmosphere The second part is Exercise 2 on Page 31 which asks the students to make a poster for their school that tells students various ways they can reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the air The third part is a writing task designed by the teacher which asks students to write a short passage about global warming By practicing writing the passage students can strengthen their knowledge about global warming and develop their sense of environmental protection 三维目标设计

FossilFossil FuelsFuels There is no doubt that fossil fuels bring a lot of good to us But do you know that many of the environmental problems our country faces today result from our fossil fuel dependence The environment faces air pollution global warming acid rain and several other very serious problems because of our use of fossil fuels Over the last 150 years burning of fossil fuels has resulted in more than 25 percent increase in carbon dioxide in our atmosphere 用心 爱心 专心6 Carbon dioxide is one of the main factors in global warming which is negatively affecting everyone Fossil fuels also affect water pollution land pollution and thermal pollution heat pollution Coal mining is one of the causes of pollution in the environment After the mining is completed the land will remain barren Materials other than coal are also brought to the surface in the coal mining process and these are left as solid wastes The production transportation and use of fossil fuels are to blame for the effects of pollution on the environment Then what should we do We should spare no effort to improve our environment Please save energy and use fewer fossil fuels in our daily lives StepStep 7 7 HomeworkHomework 1 Master the language points in the text 2 Finish the writing task StepStep 8 8 ReflectionReflection afterafter teachingteaching 教教学学参参考考 GlobalGlobal WarmingWarming SolutionsSolutions WhatWhat CanCan WeWe Do Do The evidence that humans are causing global warming is strong but the question of what to do about it remains controversial Economics sociology and politics are all important factors in planning for the future Even if we stopped emitting greenhouse gases GHGs today the Earth would still warm by another degree Fahrenheit or so But what we do from today forward makes a big difference Depending on our choices scientists predict that the Earth could eventually warm by as little as 2 5 degrees or as much as 10 degrees Fahrenheit A commonly cited goal is to stabilize GHG concentrations around 450 550 parts per million ppm or about twice pre industrial levels This is the point at which many believe the most damaging impacts of climate change can be avoided Current concentrations are about 380 ppm which means there isn t much time to lose According to the IPCC we d have to reduce GHG emissions by 50 to 80 of what they re on track to be in the next century to reach this level IsIs thisthis possible possible Many people and governments are already working hard to cut greenhouse gases and everyone can help Researchers Stephen Pacala and Robert Socolow at Princeton University have suggested one approach that they call stabilization wedges This means reducing GHG emissions from a variety of sources with technologies available in the next few decades rather than relying
