 Read the following text and complete the tasks below
 Global warming is primarily a problem of too much carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere—which acts 
as a blanket, trapping heat and warming the planet. As we burn fossil fuels like coal, oil and natural gas for 
energy or cut down and burn forests to create pastures and plantations, carbon accumulates and overloads our 
atmosphere. Certain waste management and agricultural practices aggravate the problem by releasing other 
potent global warming gases, such as methane and nitrous oxide. 
 Substantial scientific evidence indicates that an increase in the global average temperature of more than 
3.6 degrees Fahrenheit (°F) (or 2 degrees Celsius [°C]) above where we are today poses severe risks to 
natural systems and to human health and well-being. To avoid this level of warming, the United States needs 
to reduce heat-trapping gas emissions by at least 80% below 2000 levels by 2050. Delay in taking such action 
will require much sharper cuts later, which would likely to be more difficult and costly. 
 Any action to reduce or eliminate the release of heat-trapping gases to the atmosphere helps slow the rate 
of warming and, likely, the pace and severity of change at any given hot spot. Local sources of carbon 
emissions vary from region to region, suggesting that solutions are often decided at the community level.
