Facing such a threat, we, as the only intelligent animals in the world, should join efforts to ‘cool’ the earth, for other members of the planet, as well as for ourselves.

Answer 1

These years, global warming is becoming a serious problem, endangering people’s life.

Several factors contribute to the rise of temperature. First of all, a lot of greenhouse gas is produced by cars and factories; furthermore, people burn a lot of coal and wood for their life; the loss of forests is another cause of global warming.

Global warming will cause some disastrous effects. In the first place, some island will disappear because of the rise of sea level, and thus people of certain countries will have to look for new places to live. Extreme weather, will also result from global warming. When temperature rises, the production of crops will decrease, which directly endangers people’s lives. If the temperature keeps rising, some animals and plants will disappear from the planet, thus destroying the ecosystem.

Facing such a threat, we, as the only intelligent animals in the world, should join efforts to ‘cool’ the earth, for other members of the planet, as well as for ourselves.
