Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions below.

Humans can neither change the sun's radiation nor the earth's orbit around the sun. But they can control the increase in the amount of greenhouse gases and its effect on the atmosphere. Only during the last hundred years the carbon dioxide concentration has been raised alarmingly in the atmosphere and we humans can be held responsible for this.
The main cause of the increase in-carbon dioxide level in the atmosphere is the burning of fossil fuels. Since the end of the 19th century, industrial activities increased rapidly giving rise to many factories. These factories required energy, which was produced through the combustion of coal. Besides coal, other sources of energy such as mineral oil and natural gas were also burned to heat our houses, run cars and airplanes or to produce electricity. Nowadays, about 85 million barrels of crude oil are burned daily. Every time a fossil raw material is burned, it releases carbon dioxide into the air.
Therefore, it is clear that more and more greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide are being generated worldwide by humans. Moreover, we are also strengthening the greenhouse effect by deforestation, which means, cutting down trees. Every year enormous areas of forests are destroyed by people to obtain wood and to clear regions for mining and to create pasture. This loss of the forest causes dual problems. Trees that are burned up release large volumes of carbon dioxide gas into the air. On the other hand, as forests absorb a lot of carbon dioxide from the air and deliver oxygen instead, we also destroy an important storehouse of carbon dioxide when we clear forests.

Loss of forests causes dual problems. Trees are burned up and release huge amount of carbon dioxide gas into the atmosphere. On the other hand, when forests are cleared, an important storehouse of carbon dioxide is destroyed. Thus, the lose of forests causes dual problems.

āωāĻ¤ā§āϤāϰāσ

To control the increase of greenhouse gases we should stop cutting down trees and burning fossil fuels like coal. mineral oil, natural gas, etc.

āωāĻ¤ā§āϤāϰāσ

Forests help us by absorbing a lot of carbon dioxide from the air and deliver oxygen in exchange. They help to bring about rain and prevent soil erosion.

āωāĻ¤ā§āϤāϰāσ

Yes, man can influence the climate. By cutting down trees and burning fossil fuels human creates greenhouse effect which influences the climate.

āωāĻ¤ā§āϤāϰāσ

Humans can neither change the sun's radiation nor the earth's orbit around the sun because it is beyond the ability of human being. We do not have the power or ability to change the radiation of sun or the orbit of earth.

āωāĻ¤ā§āϤāϰāσ

Human activities such as burning fossil fuels, industrial activities and cutting down trees cause more carbon dioxide emission in the atmosphere. Thus, human beings are responsible for the increase in the greenhouse gases.

āωāĻ¤ā§āϤāϰāσ

The main cause of the increase in carbon dioxide level in the atmosphere is the burning of fossil fuels.

āωāĻ¤ā§āϤāϰāσ

Enormous areas of forests are destroyed every year to obtain wood and to clear regions for mining and to create pasture.

āωāĻ¤ā§āϤāϰāσ

Energy for factories was produced through the combustion of coal.

āωāĻ¤ā§āϤāϰāσ

Humans are responsible for the increase of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

āωāĻ¤ā§āϤāϰāσ

The carbon dioxide storehouse is destroyed with the forests as they absorb a lot of carbon dioxide form the airs and deliver oxygen instead.

āωāĻ¤ā§āϤāϰāσ

Industrial revolution has given rise to so many factories.

āωāĻ¤ā§āϤāϰāσ

About 85 million barrels of crude oil are used daily nowadays.

āωāĻ¤ā§āϤāϰāσ

The carbon dioxide has increased in the atmosphere alarmingly in the last century.

āωāĻ¤ā§āϤāϰāσ

Man can control the increase in the amount of greenhouse gases and its effects on the atmosphere.

āωāĻ¤ā§āϤāϰāσ

Deforestation means destroying forest by felling and burning down trees.

āωāĻ¤ā§āϤāϰāσ

According to the passage, changing the sun's radiation and changing the earth's orbit around the sun are beyond our means.

āωāĻ¤ā§āϤāϰāσ
