Read the text and fill in the gaps with the words below. WHAT IS THE GREENHOUSE EFFECT?Many greenhouse gases, e.g. carbon dioxide, methane and ozone, exist naturally and are needed to create the пустоgreenhouse effect that keeps the
Earth warm enough to support human life. However, the use of fossil
fuels, e.g. oil, natural gas and пустоcoal , has produced excessive amounts of
greenhouse gases, and the result is пустоglobal warming : an increase in the
average temperature on Earth. Of the 15 warmest years on record , 14 have
occurred since 2000.
The effects of climate change can already be seen in our пустоeveryday lives .
Summers are getting hotter and winters are getting wetter, so drought and пустоfloods are becoming more common. With it, animal and plant life is
suffering – some пустоspecies will disappear altogether – and certain illnesses,
e.g. hay fever, asthma and пусто skin cancer , are becoming more common.
