IV. Speaking Out

MODEL 1   Our globe is in danger

John:  How is your Grandma getting along during this usually hot weather?

Nora:  Over the last few years, Granny has been complaining that the hot, humid weather is killing 1 her. She believes the weather has changed.

John:  What she means is the climate’s long-term conditions; weather refers only to day-to-day conditions.

Nora: Yeah, she says summer is hotter, and winter wetter. But I tried to comfort her, saying, “It’s all in your mind, Granny.”

John: She’s right, you know. The greenhouse 2 effect does bring global warming and rain.

Nora: How can I explain global warming and greenhouse gases to a 97-year-old Granny?

John: Tell her the earth now is like a real greenhouse made of glass panels 3 that let in light and trap heat.

Nora: Think she’ll want to know that carbon monoxide from earth makes greenhouse gases?

John: Everybody should know what cause global warming; otherwise we won’t stop it.

Nora: I’ll tell Granny not to burn any more wood or coal, or to use spray 4 on the hair.

John: OK, joke about it, but it won’t be so funny when the polar icecaps melt and oceans rise.
