54、d its warming climate. Youve probably heard of global warming. The temperature is on the rise because humankind has been releasing(排放) amounts of gases into the atmosphere. One of these greenhouse gases is carbon dioxide (二氧化碳). What does this have to do with food? A big part of the carbon dioxide t
55、hat we put in the atmosphere every year comes from the process of making and eating food. The production of meat contributes a lot of that carbon dioxide. And much of meats contribution comes from beef, which is responsible for releasing even more warming gases into the atmosphere. The process of ma
56、king a hamburger, for example, requires a lot of energy. A cow has to be fed and raised on farmland, and cow waste is a major source of methane(沼气)an especially powerful greenhouse gas.

57、nt even be used for meat that people eat. By the time a hamburger finally lands on a dinner plate, it has made a heavy effect on the environment.

58、t in terms of the amount of greenhouse gases released. All kinds of meat are harder on the planet than vegetables.

62、rding to new research. The next ice age could be 15,000 years away, say European scientists who last month announced a continuous record of 740,000 years of climate date(数据)obtained from the Antarctic ice. Scientists from 10 nations have now almost completely drilled through a 3,000-meter depth of i
63、ce high in the Antarctic mainland. They figure out that the area where summer temperatures can fall to, has at least 900,000 years of snowfalls, kept as neatly as the growth rings of a tree. And the ice and air caught in each layer(层)have begun to answer questions about the climates in the past. The
64、 results show that there have been eight ice ages in the past 740,000 years and eight warmer periods. And by comparing the pattern of global conditions today with those of the past, the researchers reported in Nature that the present warm period could last another 15,000 years. Research suggests tha
65、t there is a very close connection between greenhouse gas levels and global average temperatures. It also shows that carbon dioxide(二氧化碳)levels are the highest for at least 440,000 years. “ If people say to you: the greenhouse effect is a good thing because we would go into an ice age otherwise, our
66、 date say no, a new ice age is not hanging over our heads, ” said Eric Wolff from the British Antarctic Survey. “ Now we have eight examples of how the climate goes in and out of ice ages and you can learn what the rules are that go into the climate models that tell us about the future. ” Scientists
67、 found that whenever temperatures rose in the frozen record, so did carbon dioxide level. “ In 440,000 years we have never seen greenhouse gas get as thick as it is today, ” said Dr Wolff.112.
