The summary of ‘climate panel goes for nuclear option’ Text--based skill 2 (week 8)

Regarding how to reduce the global warming, the climate change experts have serious trouble with environmentalists about the development of nuclear power and usage of biofuel products. The Inter-governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) gave a measure about how to deal with the rising of temperature and stop the situation from getting the worst. This measure will help to prevent temperature from rising. There is an argument between climate change experts and environmentalists. Australia Prime Minister John Howard promised to reduce the exporting of uranium and develop nuclear power industry. By doing this, it will reduce the global warming. However, some experts said it would have very little effect on avoiding catastrophe. This means it will only reduce 0.2 to 0.6 percent on global warming. On the other hand, nuclear power and usage of boifuel products could also bring huge damage to our environment. Finally, environmentalists suggested that people's lifestyles should be changed.
