have been printed in bold to help you locate them while answering some of the questions.
Anewanalysishasdeterminedthatthethreatofglobalwarmingcanstillbegreatlydiminishedif
nations cut emissions of heat-trapping greenhouse gases by 70% this century. The analysis was
donebyscientistsattheNationalCenterforAtmosphericResearch(NCAR).Whileglobaltemperatures
would rise, the most dangerous potential aspects of climate change, including massive losses of
Arcticseaiceandpermafrost andsignificantsea-levelrise, couldbepartiallyavoided.
“This research indicates that we can no longer avoid significant warming during this century,”
said NCAR scientist Warren Washington, the study paper’s lead author. “But, if the world were to
implement this level of emission cuts, we could stabilize the threat of climate change”, he added.
Average global temperatureshave warmed bycloseto 1 degree Celsiussince the pre-industrial
era.Muchofthewarmingisduetohuman-producedemissionsofgreenhousegases,predominantly
carbon dioxide. This heat-trapping gas has increased from a pre-industrial level of about 284 parts
permillion(ppm)intheatmospheretomorethan380ppmtoday.Withresearchshowingthatadditional
warming of about 1 degree C may be the threshold for dangerous climate change, the European
Union has called for dramatic cuts in emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases.
Toexamine theimpactofsuchcutsontheworld’sclimate,Washingtonand hiscolleagues rana
series of global studies with the NCAR-based Community Climate System Model (CCSM). They
assumed that carbon dioxide levels could be held to 450 ppm at the end of this century. In contrast,
emissionsarenowontracktoreachabout750ppmby2100ifunchecked.Theteam’sresultsshowed
that if carbon dioxide were held to 450 ppm, global temperatures would increase by 0.6 degrees
Celsiusabovecurrentreadingsbytheendofthecentury.Incontrast,thestudyshowedthattemperatures
wouldrisebyalmostfourtimesthatamount,to2.2degreesCelsiusabovecurrentreadings,ifemissions
were allowed to continue on their present course. Holding carbon dioxide levels to 45.0 ppm would
.have other impacts, according to the climate modelling study.
Sea-levelriseduetothermalexpansionaswatertemperatureswarmedwouldbe14centimetres
(about 5.5 inches) instead of 22 centimetres (8.7 inches). Also, Arctic ice in the summertime would
shrink by about a quarter in volume and stabilize by 2100, as opposed to shrinking at least three-
quarters and continuing to melt, and Arctic warming would be reduced by almost half.
Q.51. WhyhastheEuropeanUnioncalledfordramaticcutsincarbondioxideandgreenhousegasemissions
?
(1) As global warming is not an issue of concern.
(2) As the temperatures may rise almost by an additional one degree and this may lead to severe
climate change. .
(3)Asthe NCARhasforcedtheEuropeanUniontoannouncethe cuts.
(4) As all the nations have decided to cut emissions of carbon dioxide.
(5) None of these
Q.52. What would NOT be one of the impacts of cutting greenhouse gas emissions ?

Q.54. What does the scientist Warren Washington mean when he says “we could stabilize the threat of
climate change” ?
(1) Climate change can be stopped completely.
(2) Climate change can be regularized.
(3) Climate change and its effects can be studied extensively.
(4) The ill-effects of the change in climate can be minimized.

(4) Because they found out that the greenhouse gas emissions could be cut by 70%

Q.56. What would be the impact of unchecked greenhouse gas and carbon dioxide emissions ?
(1) The temperature would rise from the current temperature by 2.2 degrees Celsius
