8、tables. Without urgent help, the countrys days are numbered.But Tuvalu is not the first place to face sinking into the sea.

9、o, St. Marks Square, the lowest point city, flooded about nine times a year. Nowadays, it happens more than 100 times. While Venice is slowly sinking into the mud on which it stands, global warming causes Tuvalus rising sea level. The average global temperature has increased by almost 0.5 centigrade
10、 degrees over the past century; scientists expect it rise by extra 13 degrees over the next 100 years. Warmer weather makes glaciers (冰川 ) melt, adding more water to the ocean. The warmer temperatures also make water expand, so it takes up more space, causing the sea level to rise. The sea level has
11、 risen about 1025 cm in the last 100 years. The main cause of global warming is human pollution. Through burning coal, oil and gas, people have been increasing the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, such as CO2. This adds to the power of the greenhouse effect, making the planet even warmer. Many sc
