1. Carbon Dioxide, the Greenhouse Effect, and Recent Global Warming
Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas that strongly absorbs infrared radiation and plays a
major role in warming the lower atmosphere. We also know that carbon dioxide has been
increasing steadily in the atmosphere, primarily due to the burning of fossil fuels.
However, deforestation may also be adding to this increase as tropical rainforests are
removed and replaced with less efficient plants. In 1990, the annual average of carbon
dioxide was about 350 parts per million, and present estimates are that this value may
double sometime in century
To complicate the picture, three
gases such methane nitrous oxide and
chlorofluorocarbons, all of which readily absorb infrared radiation have been increasing in
concentration over the past century. Collectively, these gases are about equal to carbon
dioxide in their ability to enhance the atmospheric greenhouse effect Moreover, rising
ocean temperatures will cause an increase in evaporation rates and hence an increase in
atmospheric water vapor, which is the most potent greenhouse gas The added water vapor
accelerates the temperature rise Recent satellite measurements have confirmed this
as

Based on structural elements what type of expository text does this excerpt from a 1917 congressional address by president woodrow wilson exemplify

Read this passage: many manufacturers prefer plastic as a material for containers because it can be molded into many shapes. but plastic is not very strong. it must be fused with glass or steel for strength. it is also not very durable. even the strongest plastic can break under enough pressure. the biggest disadvantage to using plastic is that it does not decompose. while plastic can be recycled, doing so is tedious and difficult. while it may be more expensive and difficult to work with, aluminum is a much stronger building material with far greater tensile strength. it conducts electricity because it is metal. best of all, aluminum is very easy to recycle. even if it is thrown away, it decomposes much more quickly than most manufacturing materials. how does the compare-and-contrast organizational pattern of the passage support the author's purpose? a. the passage gradually leads up to the point about decomposition to inform the reader about the importance of recycling plastics. b. the passage lists the advantages and disadvantages of each material to make a case for the use of plastic and not aluminum in containers. c. the passage begins with a description of plastic's problems in order to call attention to the good qualities of aluminum. d. the passage shows the superiority of aluminum in order to make a case for the production of stronger plastics.

Why are the royals in the woods? a. they are hunting. c. they are drunk. b. they are celebrating the wedding. d. they are lost.
