The climate will be warm and 21 with prolonged droughts in most of the world’s grain growing 22 . Because of the increase in temperature, the ice cap will begin to melt and sea level is predicted to 23 about ten meters, causing flood in many areas.
In the atmosphere, a concentration of carbon dioxide acts like the _24 in the roof of a greenhouse. It allows the sun’s rays to pass _25 easily on the way to the earth’s _26 , but prevents heat _27 by the earth from escaping back into space. 28 , as the level of atmospheric carbon dioxide rises,because of the industrial burning of fossil fuels, this greenhouse effect could 29 the temperature of the earth. The burning of fossil fuels 30 carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide accumulates(积聚) in the atmosphere, and 31_ the greenhouse effect, the temperature of the earth’s surface could rise. 32 this warming up took place, the polar ice caps would begin to melt, 33 raising sea level. The 34 influence that seems to be cooling the earth is the variable behavior of the sun. As the sun rotates(旋转) on its orbit, it presents hotter or colder faces to the earth, and this seems to have a considerable effect 35 the distribution of the earth’s atmospheric pressure and on the wind circulation. The heat 36 of the sun also varied, the latest trend being 37 , the heat output appears to be decreasing and the indications are that the earth’s 38_ is entering a cooler cycle. Scientific models that take 39 account this 40 behavior of the sun are also predicting that the world should be entering a new Ice Age.
