The problems of climate
Tornados, sometimes called ‘twisters’, are whirlwinds with speeds of up to 400 km per hour. In the USA there are 1000 tornadoes every year. They look fantastic and dramatic when we are watching them on TV, but they can kill. Tornados are only one sign of the world’s climate changes. There are more floods (наводнения) in some parts of the world, and there’s much less rain in others.
We know that these things happen because global temperatures are rising (поднимается) and many people believe that weather will get worse in the future. The problem of climate is very big. Cutting down trees, burning too much oil (нефть), a lot of cars and planes are some of the things that cause the problems. Global warming (потепление) will change the world’s climate.
Many scientists (учёные) try to solve these problems.
