The argument that global warming is causing more extreme weather is problematic because it presumes the globe is warming. In fact, the global temperature trend line has been stable for more than a dozen years, while carbon dioxide has increased 7% . If carbon dioxide was the driver, then why have global temperatures stopped increasing?
Keep in mind that carbon dioxide represents 0.0395% of the Earth’s atmosphere. Arguing that carbon dioxide is driving the small temperature variations in our climate as opposed to the oceans, which cover 70% of the planet and have 1,000 times the heat capacity of air, or the output of our sun, is scientifically disturbing.
Weather is more publicized nowadays because of its impact on society and the constant push of the global warming agenda. Increases in population result in more people being in the path of Mother Nature’s great anger. Global warming activists attribute every major weather event to man because they are either uninformed about history, or choose to ignore it. The latest claims resulting from this series of hot and dry summers ignore the fact that more state heat records were set in the 1930s than all other decades of the last century combined. Anyone remember the Dust Bowl?
Seven major hurricanes hit the East Coast from 1954 to 1960. Now that we are in a pattern similar to the 1950s, the East Coast is vulnerable once again, and attributing events like Hurricane Irene to global warming is incorrect. All the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change(IPCC)projections for our climate have proved to be wrong. Global temperatures have stopped increasing and are nowhere near estimates made a decade ago. The IPCC incorrectly predicted Arctic sea ice would disappear by now.
After Katrina in 2005, more and stronger hurricanes were forecast to be the future. The Accumulated Cyclone Energy Index for the globe has instead declined to the lowest level in 30 years. This does not mean we will not see warm weather and land-falling hurricanes. We are in a pattern similar to the 1950s when U. S. heat and drought as well as East Coast land-falling hurricanes were quite prevalent.
Perhaps when the Atlantic becomes cold, we will be hearing Ice Age scares again as we did in the 1970s.
Why is the East Coast vulnerable to hurricanes once again?
选项
A、Because it is in a pattern similar to the 1950s when hurricanes were prevalent.
B、Because the IPCC makes projections that are inaccurate and unreliable.
C、Because global warming is proved to be no longer a factor contributing to hurricanes.
D、Because people have not protected the environment in the correct way.
答案
A
解析
推理判断题。由定位句可知,从1954年到1960年,美国东海岸遭受到七次大的飓风袭击。现在的天气形势和上世纪50年代相似,东海岸地区又一次处于易受袭击的状况。由此推断,上世纪50年代是一个飓风在美国东海岸地区频发的时期,现在东海岸地区又进入了与其相似的天气形势中,因此很有可能发生飓风,故A)“因为它处于和上世纪50年代相似的形势中,当时飓风频繁”为本题答案。B)“因为IPCC做出了不准确也不可靠的预测”与东海岸飓风频发无关,故排除;C)“因为全球变暖被证明与飓风无关”和D)“因为人们没有用正确的方法保护环境”均未在原文中提及,故排除。
