| 婴儿肠胃炎的症状 U. N. Climate Change Report Sounds A “Code Red For Humanity” 联合国气候变化的报告为人类拉响了红色警报 Global warming is dangerously clo to spiralling out of control, a U. N. climate panel said in a landmark report Monday, warning the world is already certain to face further climate disruptions for decades, if not centuries, to come. Humans are “unequivocally” to blame, the report from the scientists of IPCC said. Rapid action to cut greenhou gas emissions could limit some impacts, but others are now locked in. The deadly heat waves, gargantuan hurricanes and other weather extremes that are already happening will only become more vere. U. N. Secretary-General António Guterres described the report as a “code red for humanity”. “The alarm bells are deafening, ” he said in a statement. “This report must sound a death knell for coal and fossil fuels, before they destroy our planet. ” Activist Greta Thunberg called on the public and media to put “massive” pressure on governments to act. In three months, the U. N. COP26 climate conference in Glasgow, Scotland, will try to wring much more ambitious climate action out of the nations of the world, and the money to go with it. 【外刊概要】 本篇文章介绍了联合国气候变化专门委员会在一份具有里程碑式的报告中称, 全球变暖正濒临失控的危险边缘, 并警告称, 未来几十年, 甚至数百年, 世界肯定会面临进一步的气候破坏。 | 主题语境 人与自然 课标话题 自然灾害与防范 思维品质 通过对文章的阅读和理解, 了解自然灾害对人类生活带来的影响以及人类活动导致的自然灾害, 并培养环保意识。 对接教材 必修1 Unit 4 Earthquakes 选修6 Unit 5 The power of nature |
