Excerpt
European
and American countries have been hit by heat waves this
year, and the topic of global warming has also heated up.
According to the newest edition of the National Science
Academy Report released on the 25th, because of
the El Nino and other reasons, global temperatures have
risen in the last few decades, reaching a high never seen
before for the last thousands of years, and closing on the
highest point in a million years. The report says that the
first to break the record may be Pacific regions, because
the Pacific is where El Nino occurs.
