- Oui, ça fait deux fois en peu de temps que je poste dans cette partie. Et Alors ? =X -
/me tasse son orgueil dans un trou d'souris.

Je ne suis pas, à mon grand regret, bilingue. C'est pourquoi j'en fais appel à ceux qui le sont, ou encore à ceux qui maîtrisent cette merveilleuse langue qu'est l'Anglais.
En effet, j'aime jouer avec les phrases, les mots, autant en Français qu'en Anglais. C'est pourquoi, par moment, mes tournures virent rapidement à l'incompréhensible et dans un devoir, ça fait moyen moyen.

J'aurais donc besoin d'une âme charitable pour minimiser mes fautes dans le loooong texte qui suivra, sans tenir compte du contenu, juste des abominations commises niveau syntaxe, accords, orthographe, connecteurs logiques, expressions, toussa toussa...

Describe the three eras of our progressive discovery of Global Warming.

"I wonder what will happen ?". That's the name of the first era which began when Svante Arrhenius, a Swedich chemist, emited, the last century, the hypothesis that the increasing use of coal and oil (required "to power the Industrial Revolution") could, in the long run, liberate in the atmosphere a sufficient carbon dioxide rate to raise the Earth's temperature about nine degrees.

It was the time where, in the scientific sector, the awareness concerning the impacts of the industrialisation was barely sprouting. However, their doubts and foetus of questions all about that were, regardless, not enough alarming and evidenced to make people think about and take some preventive acts against this coming matter. It was too early.

Moreover, we had to wait the 1950s to verify Arrhenius' supposition with the first system of CO2 measurement whose the result revealed indeed its rightness.
Finally, "I wonder what will happen ?" ended in 1988 when a NASA scientist, James Hansen, informed officially, proofs on support, a congressional hearing "that the extra carbon was heating up the planet".



There began "Can this really be true ?", the second era of our progressive discovery of Global Warming. Hansen's declaration behaved as a kind of trigger. At last, scientists began leaning narrowly on the problem and "governments and universities poured more money and effort into investigating this question". Weather balloons and satellites were launched, computer models were refined, reports were issued etc... Those last reports "stated flatly" the rise of the temperature by human beings. At that time, the world was just one degree hotter but, according to the IPCC's forecasts, it could over raise of "three to ten degrees this century".

A larger part of the world sat out moving on climate change. Thus, "the Kyoto treaty to reduce greenhouse gases" was ratified by 144 countries out of 192. One of the 48 unwilling others was the U.S.A., which is also one of the countries whose the CO2 emition is the higher ("produce twenty percent of the planet's CO2")

To americans, the "wake-up call" was Katrina which caused a lot of damages much as human as material.

Owing to the warming of the soil and the sea, scientists realized that hurricans, whose the strength depends on the heat of the surface layers of the ocean, will be longer and stronger by fifty percent in the years to come. Those disasters also revealed, in parallel, the lacks of the american gorvernment, its incompetence and all the poverty in America. A veritable chaos.

To not help matters, satellites showed another alarming calamity : "the Arctic was melting in unprecedented ways". The danger was the following : thanks to the mirror effect of the ice, sun's rays were bounced into outer space, but, if the ice melts, the blue water, which "is like a giant sponge absorbing most of that solar heat" will make "the whole problem worse".

To sum up, it was necessary to go in a dramatic situation to really make people sit up and take notice. "I just believe that I see" could be another regrettable name for this era because it was not another era of predictions which could be repaired, but rather an era of alarming observations with an amount of time to act which "is smaller than we thought".



And today, "we are entering the "Oh Shit" era of global warming". The choice of "Oh Shit" for its designation could remind an expletive shrieking, a belated reaction before a catastrophic balance.

In reality, "all are in flux thanks to us", that means we can change for example "the progress of the seasons, the speed of the wind, the height of the oceans" and that's which is happening without knowing exactly the definitive outcomes.

Furthermore, "researchers suspect that the world also has some trap-doors" which could involve a "nasty chain reaction". For instance, the thaw of the Arctic may alter the salinity of the North Antlantic and, as a result, shut down the Gulf Stream, or, cold turkey, while a large part of Europe would "be getting very cold", "the rest of the world would heating up".

In fact, we are playing dangerously with the Nature and its limits, we are testing out it, ignoring the reactions of that "angry beast" which "we are poking at it with sticks".

The global warming is not a joke, a myth. Now, before it being too late, we have to do something, and break up our inactive and beatific behavior, exclaiming a weak "Oh Shit" which will never change the things. It's high time to consider our errors and limit the damage.

Je me permet de te contredire

Mais sinon pour le texte, lu en diagonale, pas trouvé la motiv' pour vérifier
