ROCK PARTE 6 COMPRENSIÓN DE LECTURA INFERENCIAL CLIMATE CHANGE CLIMATE CHANGE Climate change (or global warming), is the process of our planet heating up. The Earth has warmed by an average of 1°C in the last century, and although that might not sound like much, it means big things for people and wildlife around the globe. Unfortunately, rising temperatures don't just mean that we'll get nicer weather — if only! The changing climate actually make our weather more extreme and unpredictable. As temperatures rise, some areas will get wetter and lots ot animals (and humans!) could find that they're not able to adapt to their changing climate. CLIMATE CHANGE Climate change is already affecting wildlife all over the world. But certain species are sufferinq more than others. Polar animals - whose icy natural habitat is meltinq in the warmer temperatures – are particularly at risk. In fact, experts believe that the Arctic sea ice is melting at a shocking rate — 9% per decade! Polar bears need sea ice to be able to hunt, raise their young and as places to rest after long periods of swimming. Certain seal species, Iike ringed seals make caves in the snow and ice to raise their pups, feed and mate. lt's not just polar animals who are in trouble. CLIMATE CHANGE Apes like orangutans, which live in the rainforests of Indonesia, are under threat as their habitat is cut down, and more droughts cause more bushfires. Climate change won't just affect animals, it’s already having an impact on people, too. Most affected are some of the people who grow the food we eat every day. Farming communities, especially in developing countries, are facing higher temperatures, increased rain, floods and droughts. Farmers might then resort to using cheap chemicals to improve their crop to earn more money, even when long-term use of these chemicals can destroy their soil. CLIMATE CHANGE There are little things that you can do in your own home in order to help prevent climate change. Try switching to energy- saving Iightbulbs, walking instead of using the car, turning off electrical items when you're not using them, recycling and reducing your food waste. All these little things can make a difference. 31. Based on its used in the first paragraph, what does the expression “big things” suggest?
