Questão 1782143

1 It’s easy to suppose that we all feel the same way

about global warming. After all, everybody wants to save the

world. We all want to make a contribution, however small, and

4 we all do our best. You aren’t one of those people who wastes

water. And I’ m sure you’ve got low-energy light bulbs in your

house. Not everyone is so enthusiastic, of course. Some people

7 wonder what they can do to help, and don’t really know what

to do, until they find out by paying attention to what the

world’s scientists are saying. At least, we all hope this is true.

10 Still, there are quite a lot of people who just hope that the

problem will go away. Why do they do this, we might ask.

Don’t they want to make a difference?

13 Their usual response is “We don’t really know

whether the climate is changing”. Well, there’s plenty of

evidence of climate change. We know that we are wasting

16 energy and polluting the planet. It’s all quite simple really. And

if you do know anyone who is still uncertain about whether to

save the world or not, your message to them should be clear.

19 What are you waiting for? If you think this is just somebody

else’s problem, it will, very soon, be your problem as well.
