                                                                                                -  DAVID ADAM


INTRODUCTION TO THE AUTHOR:

               David Adam was a British Anglican priest and writer. Adam was born in Alnwick, Northumberland. When he left school at 15, he went to work underground in the coal mines for three years before training for ordained ministry at Kelham Theological College.

                Dr David Adam is a writer and editor at Nature, the world's leading scientific journal. Before that he was a specialist correspondent for the Guardian for seven years, writing on science, medicine and the environment. He was named feature writer of the year by the Association of British Science Writers, and reported from Antarctica, the Arctic, China and the depths of the Amazon jungle.

GLOBAL WARMING :

                Today scientists do research to find out whether rising global temperatures under global warming would cause more volcanoes, earthquakes, landslides and tsunamis. They say that changes in geological activity are connected to global warming. Experts have linked current levels of global warming to rockfalls and landslides in Mountain areas. If there is a large amount of climate change in the long term then human beings would see some impacts.

WHITE PAINT :

                According to Hussein Akbari, white paint can prove to be a new weapon in climate war with brilliant white roofs. If roofs and road tops are turned white by a whiter shade of pale enough and extra sunlight will be bounced back into space to cool the planet, earth.  Painting the roofs white could help slow climate change by reflecting sunlight back into space.

                 So Akbari wants people to use reflective materials when they perform maintenance or repairs. He needs at least twelve largest cities in the world to co to operate with him to replace the dark coloured materials used to cover roads and roofs with something more reflective.

AMAZON FORESTS:

                David Adam points out that global warming would damage all our efforts to save the Amazon rainforest. The destruction of the South American Jungle is a powerful symbol of human impact on the earth. If Carbon emissions are not controlled 85 % of the forest would be lost.

              As the temperature will rise quickly in the following centuries, the damage to the forest will affect the future as studies show that Amazon would respond to future temperature rises. Experts see the loss of the Amazon forest as impossible to be stopped. Global warming would be increased due to the loss of the Amazon forest.

CONCLUSION:

                          So Global warming may seem like an overwhelmingly complex problem to tackle.

Writing in English, Latin, Greek, and Italian, he achieved international renown within his lifetime, and his celebrated   Areopagitica   (1644)—written in condemnation of pre-publication censorship—is among history's most influential and impassioned defences of free speech and freedom of the press.

JOHN KEATS                                                                             John Keats was an English Romantic poet. He was one of the main figures of the second generation of romantic poets along with Lord Byron and Percy Bysshe Shelley , despite his work only having been in publication for four years before his death.            Although his poems were not generally well received by critics during his life, his reputation grew after his death, so that by the end of the 19th century he had become one of the most beloved of all English poets. He had a significant influence on a diverse range of later poets and writers. Jorge Luis Borges stated that his first encounter with Keats was the most significant literary experience of his life.           The poetry of Keats is characterized by sensual imagery, most notably in the series of odes. Today his poems and letters are some of the most popular and most analyzed in English literature. CHARACTERISTIC
