The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) was set up in 1988 to assess information on climate change and its influence. Many hundreds of scientists from many countries participated in its preparation and review. Incorporating new results from the past five years of research on climate change, its third report in 2004 predicted global temperature rises by 2100 of between 1.4℃ and 5.8℃compared to a previous assessment of 1.0 to 3.5℃ for the same period. Although the issue of the changing climate is very complex and some changes are uncertain, temperature rises are expected to affect countries throughout the world and have a severe effect on sea- level rises. Scientists have argued about whether temperature rises are due to human activities or due to natural changes in our environment. Some have believed that the emission of industrial and life wastes turns to warm the surface, while the others have insisted that natural factors, such as changes in solar output or explosive volcanic activity can also be criminal in this case. The IPCC announced in 2001 that "most of the warming observed over the last 50 years is likely to be owing to human activities". This was a more forceful statement than in 1996 when the second report stated that there was a "definite human influence on the climate" which was the first time they had concluded such a link. Many experts believe the faster the climate changes, the greater the risk will be. Key points of the predictions for climate change globally include that by the second half of the 21st century, wintertime rainfall in the northern areas will rise, that at the same time Australia, Central America and southern Africa are likely to see decreases in autumn rainfall, that some land areas in the tropics will see more rainfall, and that there will generally be more hot days over land areas. The IPCC also warned that global surface temperature increases and rising sea level are predicted to continue for hundreds of years after stabilization of greenhouse gas concentrations, owing to the long timescales on which the deep ocean adjusts to climate change. Therefore, further research is required to improve the ability to detect, attribute and understand climate change, to reduce uncertainties and to project future climate changes. Obviously, the word "project" in the last paragraph most probably refers to ______.

What does Mr. Baker want to know more about
Bob: It’s worth reflecting on the extraordinary appeal of the Harry Potter epic. Rowling’s triumph, years in the making, is constructed with the elements of classic myth-based stories of the past, from the Greek myths themselves through The Lord of the Rings and Star Wars. The themes come down to the struggle between good and evil, and the choices one makes. They are overlaid with Harry’s disorderly passage from childhood through adolescence to maturity. Cheney: Despite thousands of security fees, spoilers on the Internet have posted copies. "We haven’t read the book yet, and even if we had, we wouldn’t join the spoilers." The media’s willingness to play along with the entertainment industry by voluntarily withholding information about plot points in movies and books is amusing. What ever happened to "the public’s right to know" Hawki: The Big Question has long hovered over the series: Does Harry live or die Deriving from those myths and conventions, the resolution would seem to require a face-off between Harry and the evil Lord Voldemort in which one of the two must die. And Harry, in the face-off, must risk all. Under one scenario, Harry might have to die to save the forces of good. Another possibility is that he might win but lose his wizard powers (playing off a favorite theme in children’s literature, in which adults lose the magical perceptions of childhood). In any event the end must be unambiguous. Julesverne: The excitement for this book is great for the kids that weren’t keen readers before J.K. Rowling came to be recognized. However, if we got half as excited about the inefficiencies in the education system, homelessness, corporate greed, the war in Iraq and crooked politicians that continue to give themselves raises year after year we could solve a lot more problems other than giving J.K. Rowling and her publisher more money to put in their money savings. Equern: Regardless of Harry’s fate, the ultimate achievement of the books is that they’re destined to be in the ranks of attractive classics. Ten or twenty years from now, kids (and adults) will still be discovering Harry. They’ll be taking a journey — with the books or the movies — and living through to the end. That’s Harry’s enduring magic. Statements[A] The children will grow up in the company of Harry Potter.[B] People have spent too much energy and money on the books.[C] People who are keen readers believe in ancient myth.[D] Media are criticized that they deprive the public of the right to know. [El The book’s topic is about a struggle between good and evil.[F] More money should be granted to deal with the spoilers.[G] The ending of the series is the heated question among readers. Hawki
