01 – (UFGD/MS-VESTIBULAR-2023)
How do we know the world is getting warmer?
Our planet has been warming rapidly since the dawn of the Industrial Revolution.
The average temperature at the Earth's surface has risen about 1.1C since 1850. Furthermore, each of the
last four decades has been warmer than any that preceded it, since the middle of the 19th Century.
These conclusions come from analyses of millions of measurements gathered in different parts of the world.
The temperature readings are collected by weather stations on land, on ships and by satellites.
Multiple independent teams of scientists have reached the same result – a spike in temperatures coinciding
with the onset of the industrial era. Scientists can reconstruct temperature fluctuations even further back in
time. Tree rings, ice cores, lake sediments and corals all record a signature of the past climate.
This provides much-needed context to the current phase of warming. In fact, scientists estimate the Earth
hasn't been this hot for about 125,000 years.
How do we know humans are responsible for global warming?
Greenhouse gases - which trap the Sun's heat - are the crucial link between temperature rise and human
activities. The most important is carbon dioxide (CO2), because of its abundance in the atmosphere.
We can also tell it's CO2 trapping the Sun's energy. Satellites show less heat from the Earth escaping into
space at precisely the wavelengths at which CO2 absorbs radiated energy.
Burning fossil fuels and chopping down trees lead to the release of this greenhouse gas. Both activities
exploded after the 19th Century, so it's unsurprising that atmospheric CO2 increased over the same period.
There's a way we can show definitively where this extra CO2 came from. The carbon produced by burning
fossil fuels has a distinctive chemical signature.

Scientists can reconstruct temperature fluctuations even further back in time. Tree rings, ice cores, lake sediments and corals all record a signature of the past climate.
►Os cientistas podem reconstruir as flutuaçÔes de temperatura ainda mais atrĂĄs no tempo. AnĂ©is de ĂĄrvores, nĂșcleos de gelo, sedimentos lacustres e corais registram uma assinatura do clima passado.
This provides much-needed context to the current phase of warming. In fact, scientists estimate the Earth hasn't been this hot for about 125,000 years.
►Isto fornece o contexto muito necessĂĄrio para a atual fase de aquecimento. Na verdade, os cientistas estimam que a Terra nĂŁo estava tĂŁo quente hĂĄ cerca de 125 mil anos.
How do we know humans are responsible for global warming?
►Como sabemos que os humanos sĂŁo responsĂĄveis pelo aquecimento global?
Greenhouse gases - which trap the Sun's heat - are the crucial link between temperature rise and human activities.
►Os gases de efeito estufa – que retĂȘm o calor do Sol – sĂŁo o elo crucial entre o aumento da temperatura e as atividades humanas.
The most important is carbon dioxide (CO2), because of its abundance in the atmosphere.

Both activities exploded after the 19th Century, so it's unsurprising that atmospheric CO2 increased over the same period.
►Ambas as atividades explodiram apĂłs o sĂ©culo XIX, por isso nĂŁo Ă© surpreendente que o CO2 atmosfĂ©rico tenha aumentado durante o mesmo perĂodo.

What is an effective way of getting people to cut down on meat?
A meat tax, or “sin taxes” would be most effective yet almost all government subsidies promote meat
consumption. In the UK, the best (1) of how this might work is the tax on the soft drinks industry.
It mainly (2) manufacturers reformulating products, and didn’t put the burden on the consumer. A
meat tax would mainly incentivise manufacturers to put (3) meat in products (eg, a sausage might
have 60% meat instead of 70%) but there is no government appetite for it.
There are many reasons for this, including lobbying from interest groups saying it would (4) the
domestic farming sector. Neoliberal governments also have a tendency to believe the market will internalise
health and environmental costs if better information is provided, and the government does not want to
appear to be a “nanny state”, says Dominic Moran, professor of agricultural and resource economics from
the University of Edinburgh. There is also concern the burden of taxes falls disproportionately on lower
income groups. “But this isn’t (5) ,” says Moran.
If you make it easier for companies to advertise products that are better for the environment, you expose
fewer people to products which are bad for the environment. Good in theory, but it would be really hard to
work out what should be regulated because (6) tobacco, eating meat is not all bad for people, it’s just
the quantity it is being eaten in. It would also be hard to know what needs to be regulated – would it just be

prosperity, with millions of livelihoods and much of our economic activity also depending on the natural
world. These immense (5) benefits to humanity, estimated to be worth around US$ 125 trillion a year, are
only possible if we maintain a rich (6) diversity of wildlife.
