Part 1
Para 1
introducing the topic
a dramatic change in
the global climate
the reason for its
death
Para. 2 finding a

s ecology.

Para. 3 reasons for
the increase in
temperature
the"natural“
greenhouse effect
the"man-made" greenhouse
effect-producing huge
amounts of extra greenhouse
gases
While-class
• Why is the “natural ”greenhouse effect important and
necessary?
• What are the consequences of high greenhouse gas emissions?
• Because greenhouse gases in the atmosphere trap some of the he
at, keeping Earth's climate warm and habitable. Without this
process, Earth could not sustain life.
• More heat energy is trapped in the atmosphere, which causes
Earth's surface temperature to rise quickly.

Diagrams are very useful tools that can be used to brainstorm
ideas, map out processes, show cause and effect relationships,
explain a new idea or concept, and so on. When you read an
essay about scientific issues, you can try drawing a diagram,
which will not only allow you to visualise the problems more
clearly but also can help demonstrate your creative thinking and
problem-solving.
