.Request 1: Write a simplified version of each sentence in the following text about global warming.
"In common usage, climate change describes global warming-the ongoing increase in global average temperature-and its effects on Earth's climate system. Climate change in a broader sense also includes previous long-term changes to Earth's climate. The current rise in global average temperature is more rapid than previous changes, and is primarily caused by humans burning fossil fuels.23 Fossil fuel use, deforestation, and some agricultural and industrial practices increase greenhouse gases, notably carbon dioxide and methane.4 Greenhouse gases absorb some of the heat that the Earth radiates after it warms from sunlight. Larger amounts of these gases trap more heat in Earth's lower atmosphere, causing global warming."
Source: Climate change.
Response 1: Here is a simplified version of each sentence in the text about global warming.
- 1. "In common usage, climate change describes global warming-the ongoing increase in global average temperature-and its effects on Earth's climate system."
- Simplified: Climate change is a term used to describe the increase in the average temperature of the Earth, and how it affects the planet's climate.
- 2. "Climate change in a broader sense also includes previous long-term changes to Earth's climate."
- Simplified: Climate change can also refer to the long-term changes that have occurred in the Earth's climate in the past.
- 3. "The current rise in global average temperature is more rapid than previous changes, and is primarily caused by humans burning fossil fuels."
- Simplified: The current increase in the average temperature of the Earth is happening faster than it has in the past, and humans are causing it by burning fossil fuels.
- 4. "Fossil fuel use, deforestation, and some agricultural and industrial practices increase greenhouse gases, notably carbon dioxide and methane."
- Simplified: Burning fossil fuels, cutting down forests, and certain farming and manufacturing practices release gases like carbon dioxide and methane that contribute to the greenhouse effect.
- 5. "Greenhouse gases absorb some of the heat that the Earth radiates after it warms from sunlight. Larger amounts of these gases trap more heat in Earth's lower atmosphere, causing global warming."
- Simplified: When the Earth absorbs sunlight, it radiates heat back into space, but greenhouse gases in the atmosphere absorb some of this heat and trap it, causing the Earth's temperature to rise.
- 1. The investigation into the cyber attack is still ongoing, and the authorities have not yet identified the perpetrator.
- 2. The construction work on the new building is ongoing, and is expected to be completed by the end of the year.
- 3. The company has an ongoing commitment to sustainability, and is constantly seeking ways to reduce its environmental impact.
- 4. The conflict between the two nations is an ongoing issue, and efforts to resolve it have been unsuccessful so far.
- 5. The negotiations between the union and the management are ongoing, and a deal is expected to be reached soon.
- 6. The research project is an ongoing effort to understand the causes of climate change and its impact on the environment.
- 7. The company has an ongoing training program to develop the skills and knowledge of its employees.
- 8. The ongoing pandemic has had a significant impact on the global economy, and its effects are still being felt.
- 9. The relationship between the two countries has been an ongoing source of tension, and diplomatic efforts to improve it have been unsuccessful.
- 10. The investigation into the safety of the new product is ongoing, and the company has suspended its sale until the results are known.
- 1. Im allgemeinen Sprachgebrauch beschreibt der Klimawandel die globale Erwärmung - den fortlaufenden Anstieg der globalen Durchschnittstemperatur - und ihre Auswirkungen auf das Klimasystem der Erde.
- 2. Klimawandel im weiteren Sinne umfasst auch frühere langfristige Veränderungen des Klimas der Erde.
- 3. Der derzeitige Anstieg der globalen Durchschnittstemperatur ist schneller als frühere Veränderungen und wird hauptsächlich durch die Verbrennung fossiler Brennstoffe durch den Menschen verursacht.23
- 4. Die Verwendung fossiler Brennstoffe, Abholzung und einige landwirtschaftliche und industrielle Praktiken erhöhen die Treibhausgase, insbesondere Kohlenstoffdioxid und Methan.4
- 5. Treibhausgase absorbieren einen Teil der Wärme, die die Erde abstrahlt, nachdem sie sich von Sonnenlicht erwärmt hat.
- 6. Größere Mengen dieser Gase fangen mehr Wärme in der unteren Atmosphäre der Erde ein und verursachen eine globale Erwärmung.
