Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions from 11 to 17.
The current status quo of global warming is a matter of great concem and urgency.
Scientific evidence overwhelmingly indicates that the Earth's climate is undergoing significant
changes primarily due to human activities. The buming of fossil fuels, deforestation, industrial
processes, and other human-induced factors have led to the excessive release of
greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, trapping heat and causing the planet to warm. The
consequences of global warming are increasingly evident. Rising temperatures have resulted
in the melting of polar ice caps and glaciers, leading to a rise in sea levels. This poses a
threat to coastal communities, exacerbating the risk of flooding, erosion, and the
displacement of millions of people worldwide.
Efforts to mitigate global warming and limit its impacts are underway, but the current
trajectory is still alarming. The Paris Agreement, a landmark international accord signed by
nearly every country, aims to limit global temperature rise to well below 2 degrees Celsius
above pre-industrial levels and pursue efforts to keep it below 1.5 degrees Celsius. However,
the world is not already on tack to achieve these goals, and there is an urgent need for
increased ambition and accelerated action. Transitioning to cleaner and more sustainable
energy sources, such as renewable energy, is a crucial step in combating global warming.
Countries and industries are gradually shifting towards renewable energy technologies, but
greater investments and policy support are required to drive this transition at the necessary
scale. Additionally, reducing emissions from transportation, improving energy efficiency,
protecting and restoring ecosystems, and promoting sustainable practices in agriculture are
vital components of comprehensive climate action.The status quo of global warming demands immediate and collective action. International
cooperation and collaboration ate essential. Countries must work together in addressing
global warming. They can share knowledge, resources, and best practices, supporting each
other in adopting climate-friendly policies and technologies. Furthermore, raising awareness
and mobilizing public support for climate action is crucial to driving widespread behavioral
and societal changes that can contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
