EXERCISE 1
At least 85 percent of the world’s population has been affected by human-induced
climate change, new study shows.
Researchers used machine learning to analyze more than 100,000 studies
of weather events and found four-fifths of the world’s land area has suffered
impacts linked to global warming.experienced weather events
made worse by climate change, according to research published Monday in
the journal Nature Climate Change.
After using machine learning to analyze and map more than 100,000 studies of events that could
be linked to global warming, researchers paired the analysis with a well-established data set
of temperature and precipitation shifts caused by fossil fuel use and other sources of carbon emissions.
These combined findings — which focused on events such as crop failures, floods and
heat waves — allowed scientists to make a solid link between escalating extremes and human activities.
They concluded that global warming has affected 80 percent of the world’s land area.
“We have a huge evidence base now that documents how climate change is affecting our societies and
our ecosystems,” said lead author Max Callaghan, a researcher at the Mercator Research Institute on Global
Commons and Climate Change in Germany.
EXERCISE 2
(The study provides hard numbers) ( to back up ) the lived experiences of people
from New York City to South Sudan. “(Climate change),” Callaghan said,
“is (visible and noticeable) almost everywhere in the world.”
