Level 8 Unit 5 Lesson 7
What do you do to stop climate change?

Interview

I guess it's a hot issue.
Everyone is talking about climate change these days. I guess it's a hot issue.

Very Punny

What is the purpose of this listening passage?

Listening

Grammar

I don't think I will ever go to Mars.

Will Not

I don't think I will ever climb a mountain.
Maybe. I might have to work, though
Shall we go to the top of the mountain tomorrow?

Maybe

They have all jumped a thousand times. They should be fine.

Best Case

They have the fastest engine. They should win the race.
I don't have to do that!
I have to wash all of the windows in the whole building!

Obligations

I know that I should study tonight, but Karen only said that we might have a test tomorrow in history. I only have three hours before I have to go to sleep and I won't have time to study and do my math homework and finish my essay. I should have finished my essay yesterday, but I had to pick up my grandma from aerobics class and then she said she should go to the doctor because she hurt her foot. There must be an exception to doing homework if you are taking your grandma to the doctor, right?If I hadn't had to go to the doctor, I would have already finished my essay and then I would be able to study.

What gases do we need to survive?

Prereading

greenhouse gases and the greenhouse effect. But what exactly is the greenhouse effect? Keep reading and the greenhouse effect will be defined.
emissions
These days all you hear about in the news is environmental problems and climate change. We are constantly told that we must lower our carbon footprint, produce fewer emissions from our cars and trucks and reduce waste. Among all of this talk, people always hear about

Carbon Scharbon

causes the planet to retain heat and become warmer. The greenhouse gases found in earth's atmosphere are carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and fluorinated gases.
atmosphere
The greenhouse effect is a process that occurs when energy from the sun travels through the atmosphere toward the surface of the earth. This energy heats the surface of the earth, but the gases in the atmosphere prevent this heat from leaving the planet. This
methane produced on earth is increasing at an alarming rate. A single cow produces 120 kg of methane per year. A person, on the other hand, may produce only .12 kg.
dairy
Recently there has been a large movement to stop eating meat and dairy products because the animals that are raised for food produce a large amount of methane. Methane is now regarded as the main gas that causes the earth to become warmer. The amount of
wildfires and causes numerous other problems on earth. But, what if I told you that the greenhouse effect wasn’t all negative?
disrupts
The greenhouse effect causes climate change by trapping the heat inside of earth’s atmosphere. It also contributes to smog and air pollution, which causes respiratory disease and allergies. The climate change on earth disrupts the living habits of plants and animals, increases
This environment exists because Mars has a very thin atmosphere and is not able to create a greenhouse effect.
exists
Though the greenhouse effect is often discussed as if it were a negative thing, there are many positive benefits to the greenhouse effect. In fact, without it, life on earth as we know it would be impossible. Think about what the environment is like on Mars.

Carbon Scharbon

Celsius. This temperature allows for comfortable survival of humans, plants and animals. Without the greenhouse effect, earth’s temperature would plummet.
plummet
The greenhouse effect on earth helps to maintain a certain temperature level on earth, which means that people can survive in this temperature. The average temperature on Earth is around 14 degrees
The atmosphere on Mars is incredibly thin.
