目前，全球變暖是一個熱門話題，但是有關全球變暖的各項證據似乎還有些不同的聲音。人們現在已經知道，地球的發展經歷了很多週期(cycle),儘管在歷史上還未出現過像今天這樣的時代，即高度工業化(industrialization)產生如此多的汙染。全球變暖主要是由於二氧化碳氣體(carbon dioxide)的增多。
漢譯英：
Global warming is the hot topic around the world at this time but, there is also dissention about the evidence being presented to support the argument. The earth is known to go through cycles; although the past has never produced an age of so much industrialization causing the pollution currently being experienced. A major source of the problem is the increase in carbon dioxide levels.
