2. Read the following passage carefully and answer the question that follow-

Did you know that two Hollywood blockbusters. "Water World" and "Day after Tomorrow" were based on aspects of climate change (with a little dramatic
exaggeration, of course)? They portrayed how reckless industrial activity caus
global warming which in turn has disastrous consequescens.
Climate change is very real. Houses have been destroyed by typhoons and freak
storms Thousands of Europeans died in a heat wave two years ago. Melting ice
caps, dying coral reefs and permanent flooeing of severla coastal zones are imminent . People in the Arctic regions have seen unusal birds, and animals in their locality that are normally only found in warmer climates.

When fossil fules like oil, coal and natural gas are burnt, the carbon dioxide
generated envelops the earth and traps heat inside the planet's atmosphere just like a greenhouse traps heat inside itself. Coal-based thermal power plants are the largest source of carbon dioxide emissions. Petrol, diesel and natural gas based transport, CFC gases, coolants in air conditioners, fridges and air freshenor sprays also contribute to the greenhouse effect.

Today, scientists warn that if average temperatures of the plannet rise by 2 Celsius terrible things could happen. The ice sheet over Greenland could melt entirely.
The Amazon rain forest ecosystem could get completely destroyed . Tens of millions of people could be deprived of even the most basic food, millions could have their homes flooded and many more will face water shortages. Governments of severla
industrialised countries have signe the Kyoto Protocol, an agreement to reduce
their emissions of greehouse gases in the coming years.
Unfortunately the U.S. the biggest emmiter responsible for nearly a quarter of the world's carbon dioxide emissions (though it has only four percent of the world's population) has refused to raify the Kyoto Protocol!
Global fossil fuel reserved are diminishing but we need to do something soon.
Governments need to stop giving easy loans and benefits to fossil fuel industies and start funding technologies that don't cause global warming.

safer and cleaner souces of energy like windmills, energy from windmills energy from biomass wave energy from seahorses and of course solar energy are becoming increasingly popular.
