The Threat to Kiribati

The people of Kiribati are afraid that one day in the not-too–distant future, their country will disappear from the face of the earth – literally. Several times this year, the Pacific island nation has been flooded by a sudden high tide (волна). These tides, which swept across the island and destroyed houses, came when there was neither wind nor rain. “This never happened before,” say the older citizens of Kiribati.

What is causing these mysterious high tides? The answer may well be global warming. When fuels like oil and coal are being burned, pollutants are released; these pollutants trap heat in the earth’s atmosphere. Warmer temperatures cause water to expand and also create more water by melting glaciers and polar ice-caps.

If the trend continuous, scientists say, many countries will suffer. Bangladesh, for example might lose one-fifth of its land. The coral island nations of the Pacific, like Kiribati and the Marshall Islands, however, would face an even worse fate – they would be swallowed by the sea. The loss of these coral islands would be everyone’s loss. Coral formations are home to more species than any other place on earth.

The people of these nations feel frustrated. The sea on which their economies have always been based, is suddenly threatening their existence. They don’t have the money expensive technological solutions like seawalls. And they have no control over the pollutants, which are being released mainly by activities in large industrialized countries. All they can do is to hope that industrialized countries will take steps to reduce pollution.

Read the text and answer the following questions

1) Why are the people of Kiribati afraid that one day their country will disappear from the face of the earth?

2) What is the reason of global warming?

3) What nations would be swallowed by the sea?

4) Why are coral islands vital important for the environment?

5) Can the nations of coral islands do anything to save their land?

Choose T (true) or F (false)

1)T FSeveral times this year, the Pacific island nation has been flooded by a usual high tide.

2)T FWarmer temperatures create more water by melting glaciers and polar ice-caps.

3)T FBangladesh would be swallowed by the sea.

4) T FThe people of Kiribati don’t pollute their island.

5) T FCoral formations are just for beauty.
