we have been told how temperatures have been rising rapidly to unheard of levels.This is causing polar ice to melt,sea-levels to rise and has brought about adangerous increase in extreme weather events.These intense climatic changes would likely present challenges to our society and environment.The causes of climate change are mainly anthropogenic(人为的)in nature.Since the industrial revolution,human activities have increased the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.The increased amount of gases which absorb heat has led to more heat being kept in the atmosphere,causing global warming.The certainty of global warming can be seen through some of the natural phenomena like the effect on crops and extreme weather conditions around the world.The most recent assessment report says that the earths average temperature has risen by 0.74 degrees in the period from 1906 to 2005,and that the average temperature will continue to rise.There have also been more violent downpours,sea levels have risen and the ice at the worlds poles and on its mountains is melting.The rising sea level is flooding the low-lying countries inAsiaand small islands in the Pacific.This may lead to the displacement of millions of people,loss of millions of land and consequently billions of dollars.Troubled by the serious situation,world leaders came together for the 2015 United Nations(UN)Climate Change Conference inParis.The climate talks led to 196 countries reaching a landmark agreement that will,for the first time,commit nearly every country to lowering planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions to address global climate change.That was certainly an encouraging step forward for our earth and mankind!As the world leaders continue to commit themselves to monitor our sick planet,we need to continue to take small steps to heal the world.We are left with not much of a choice.If only we could just pack our bags and migrate to Mars!4.What does paragraph 2 mainly talk
