need these gases,but the problem begins when we add huge _ extra carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.It means that more heat energy _ to be trapped in the atmosphere causing the global temperature to _.A scientist called Charles Keeling found that the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere went up from around subscribe tofuelsgreenhouse gasesbyproductscarbon dioxidequantities oftendsgo upfossil315 parts to around 370 parts _ million in 40 years.All scientists accept the date and agree the burning of more and more fossil fuels has _ this increase.However,the attitude of scientists towards this rise is completely different.On the one hand,Dr.Foster thinks that the _ which increases the temperature by 5 degrees would be a _.On the other hand,George Hambley,who _ this view,believe that we should not worry about high levels of carbon dioxide in the air.They predict that any warming will be _ with few bad environmental _.But no one really knows the effects of global warming.perresulted in trendcatastropheare opposed tomildconsequencesWhat we should do to protect our earth?Discussion:Its high time that we took immediate measures to protect our earth from being polluted.To begin with,we should not throw any rubbish here and there.Instead,we should pick it up.Besides,we are supposed to ban the abuse of plastic bags.Plastic bags can make white pollution,which makes the environment worse and worse.Whats more,we should stop factories from producing harmful gases and water.Then we appeal to others to take a bus or bike to go to school or work so as to reduce using private cars which cause air pollution.Finally,it is good for us to care about plants.The more plants we have,the better the environment will become.To begin with,we should not throw any rubbish here and
