(40 points)20 New ice core samples taken from the centre of the Greenland ice-sheet have given a detailed record of the last “interglacial period(间冰期)“ which range from about 135,000 to 115,000 years
11、ago. The cores, taken from a depth of 2,780 to 2,870 metres, show that during this period the climate oscillated(摆动) between three stages instead of remaining in one, as in the whole of recorded human history. The middle stage was like our own, but the others were either much colder or warmer.Worse,
12、 it seems that the climate flipped from one condition to another very rapidly. “It apparently took very little time, perhaps less than a decade or two, to shift between the stages,“ Dr. J. CW. White of the Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research at the University of Colorado wrote earlier this year
13、in the scientific journal, Nature-. “We humans have built a remarkable socio-economic system during perhaps the only time when it could be built, when the climate was stable enough to let us develop the agricultural infrastructure (基础设施)required to maintain an advanced society. “We do not know why w

15、cial Intergovernmental Panel on Climatic Change (IPCC), which represents the work of 2, 000 top meteorologists from around the world, concluded that global warming due to human activities is probably already taking place. Global warming sounds deceptively favorable to inhabitants of countries which
16、currently experience harsh winters. In fact, with global warming, the world would struggle to cope with the effects of even a steady, gradual warming. This was spelt out to members of the British Royal Society by Sir John Houghton, chairman both of Britains Royal Commission of Environmental Pollutio
17、n and of one of the main IPCC working groups. Houghton put forward the IPCC picture of seas flooding much of Egypt, Southern China and Bangladesh, making “many millions“ of people homeless of hordes of “environmental refugees“ and of wars breaking out over dwindling (becoming gradually smaller) fres
18、h water supplies, as world rainfall patterns changed.There is at least a chance that the world could adapt to steady warming if it happened slowly enough.
