D 1. What do the opening quotes saying about science? Detail
a. People should be skeptical about studying science.
b. Scientists are often wrong.
a. Because they are skeptical themselves.
b. Because some skeptics may be influenced by money.

Though an overwhelming body of scientific evidence supports the conclusion that man-made climate change is a reality, some scientists continue to express doubts over the seriousness of the problem. Indeed, a number of scientists deny that climate change is occurring. In some cases, environmental campaigners have exposed conflicts of interests on the part of these “deniers.” For example, the prominent astrophysicist Willie Wei-Hock Soon, who has claimed that climate change is not manmade but caused by solar variation, has received large sums of money from oil and coal companies. Although Soon has vehemently rejected claims that he has been unduly influenced in his views, it seems fair to be skeptical of some of these skeptics.

B 4. Astrophysicist Willie Wei-Hock Soon______. Detail a. supports the view that climate change is a result of human activities b. is one of the “deniers” who is skeptical of the cause of climate change c. received large sums of money for his contribution to tackle climate change d. is right about his view on climate change
A. The amount of ice in Antarctica is actually increasing.
This is simply not true. While the Antarctica’s coastal ice sheets have been expanding over the last few years, the continent’s inland sheets decreased by an astonishing 1,350 tons between 2011-2013. Worse still, the rate of decline is speeding up and causing sea levels to rise worldwide.

“Scientific skepticism is considered good … Skeptics demand that evidence and proof be offered before conclusions can be drawn.”

Track 8
A recent article in Rolling Stone magazine addressed some of the main claims that are made by climate change “deniers,” and how they are fundamentally mistaken. Here is a brief summary:
Review 01-p.38
B Multiple Matching
Look at the four paragraphs(A-D) that deal with the deniers claims. In which paragraph does the author mention …
__D___ 1. a claim that focuses on a really small percentage? __A___ 2. two different parts of one continent? __C___ 3. a hope that may be unrealistic? __A___ 4. a measurement of weight?

Track 8
B. Human activity is not causing climate change.
It is true that ice ages have come and gone in cycles during the course of history. However, these earlier shifts were caused by fluctuations in the Earth’s orbit. Recent increases in global temperatures have happened during the last 150 years, a time period that has seen C02 levels rocket by 40 percent. That’s quite a coincidence.

Track 8
C. We’re clever. We’ll adapt.
Should we be so optimistic? The U.S. spent over $100 million on emergencies arising from climate issues between 2011-2012 alone. In the future, even the developed nations will struggle with the costs incurred by climate change. Developing nations are always hit hardest by drought and famine. How will they cope when things get really serious?
