Climate Change and Global Warming

Level 6 | Unit 4 | Lesson 1

Joe believes that natural cycles are mostly responsible for climate changes. He often talks about how the Earth goes through different phases over thousands of years, such as ice ages and warmer periods. Joe explains that these changes happen because of natural factors, like volcanic eruptions and variations in the sun’s energy. He thinks that these cycles have been occurring long before humans ever existed.
Climate Change and Global Warming

Level 6 | Unit 4 | Lesson 1

In Joe’s view, the planet’s climate is influenced by the tilt of the Earth’s axis and its orbit around the sun. These factors can affect how much sunlight different areas receive. Joe argues that these natural processes can significantly change temperature and weather patterns. He believes that while human activities do have some impact, they are not the main cause of climate change.

Level 6 | Unit 4 | Lesson 1

Joe also emphasizes that the Earth has a remarkable ability to adapt to changes over time. He thinks that ecosystems can recover from natural fluctuations and that animals and plants have evolved to survive different climate conditions. Joe feels that focusing on natural cycles helps people understand that climate change is a part of the Earth’s history and that it will continue to change, regardless of human actions.

4. Contrasting Ideas:

While Dan emphasizes the urgency of human responsibility and the need for action to combat climate change, Joe believes that natural processes are the main drivers of climate change and that the Earth has always gone through cycles.

Another contrast is that Dan highlights the importance of reducing carbon emissions through sustainable practices, whereas Joe focuses on the Earth's ability to adapt to natural fluctuations over time.

There’s more of this in the air due to pollution, which can impact the climate.

When we breathe out, we release this gas into the air.

This is a gas that plants need to make their food through photosynthesis.

This type of fuel is made from ancient plants and animals that lived millions of years ago.

Using this fuel releases gases that can cause air pollution and affect the climate.

We burn this to create energy for cars, factories, and power plants.

Climate Change and Global Warming

Level 6 | Unit 4 | Lesson 1

Weather changes every day, but climate is long-term.

Burning fossil fuels increases greenhouse gases.

In the passage about Dan, he argues that human activity is the primary driver of climate change. He highlights the role of burning fossil fuels, such as coal and oil, in releasing carbon dioxide, which traps heat and raises the Earth's temperature. Dan also points out that deforestation significantly contributes to climate change by removing trees that absorb carbon dioxide, leading to increased greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. He emphasizes the need for individual and collective action to reduce emissions and support sustainable practices for a healthier planet.

In contrast, Joe believes that natural cycles are mostly responsible for climate changes. He focuses on the Earth’s historical phases, such as ice ages and warmer periods, which he attributes to natural factors like volcanic eruptions and variations in the sun’s energy. Joe argues that while human activities do have some impact, they are not the main cause of climate change, suggesting that the planet's climate has always changed due to natural processes beyond human control.

These contrasting viewpoints highlight a fundamental debate about the causes of climate change. While Dan stresses the urgency of human responsibility and the need for action to combat climate change, Joe emphasizes the historical context of natural cycles and the Earth’s ability to adapt. This difference in perspectives challenges readers to consider the complexities of climate science and the balance between understanding natural processes and addressing human-induced factors.

Cars release carbon dioxide into the air.

The climate in deserts is hot and dry.

Joe believes that natural cycles are mostly responsible for climate changes. He often talks about how the Earth goes through different phases over thousands of years, such as ice ages and warmer periods. Joe explains that these changes happen because of natural factors, like volcanic eruptions and variations in the sun’s energy. He thinks that these cycles have been occurring long before humans ever existed.
