Too Little for Global Warming
Oil and gas will run out1 too fast for doomsday global warming scenarios2 to materialize, according to a controversial new analysis presented this week at the University of Uppsala in Sweden. The authors warn that all the fuel will be burnt before there is enough carbon dioxide in the atmosphere to realize predictions of melting ice caps and searing temperatures. Defending their predictions, scientists from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change3 say they considered a range of estimates of oil and gas reserves, and point out that coal-burning could easily make up4 the shortfall. But all agree that burning coal would be even worse for the planet.
The IPCC’s predictions of global meltdown pushed forward5 the 1997 Kyoto Protocol6, an agreement obliging signatory nations to cut CO2 emissions. The IPCC considered a range of future scenarios, from unlimited burning of fossil-fuels to a fast transition towards greener energy sources. But geologists Anders Sivertsson, Kjell Aleklett and Colin Campbell of Uppsala University say there is not enough oil and gas left even the most conservative of the 40 IPCC scenarios to come to pass7.
Although estimates of oil and gas reserves vary widely, the researchers are part of a growing group of experts who believe that oil supplies will peak as soon as 2010, and gas soon after. Their analysis suggests that oil and gas reserves combined amount to the equivalent of about 3,500 billion barrels of oil considerably less than the 5,000 billion barrels estimated in the most optimistic model envisaged by the IPCC. Even the average forecast of about 8,000 billion barrels is more than twice the Swedish estimate of the world’s remaining reserves.
Nebojsa akicenovic, an energy economist at the University of Vienna, Austria who headed the 80-strong IPCC team that produced the forecasts, says the panel’s work still stands8. He says they factored in9 a much broader and internationally accepted range of oil and gas estimates than the “conservative” Swedes.
Even if oil and gas run out. “there’s a huge amount of coal underground that could be exploited.” He says that burning coal could make the IPCC scenarios come true, but points out that such a switch would be disastrous. Coal is dirtier than oil and gas and produces more CO2 for each unit of energy, as well as releasing large amounts of particulates. He says the latest analysis is a “shot across the bows10” for policy makers.

操练:
1. What do the authors of the new analysis presented at the University of Uppsala intend to say? A The burning of coal will accelerate the arrival of Earth’s doomsday. B The oil reserves are big enough to materialize the doomsday scenarios. C Melting ice caps and searing temperatures exist only in science fiction. D Oil and gas will run out so fast that Earth’s doomsday will never materialize.
2. Nations that signed the Kyoto Protocol agree to A pay attention to global meltdown. B cut CO2 emissions. C use more green energy. D stop using fossil fuels.
3. What are the estimates of the world’s oil and gas reserves? A 4,000 billion barrels by the average forecast. B 8,000 billion barrels estimated by the Swedes. C 3,500 barrels envisaged by IPCC. D 3,500 billion by a growing numher of scientists.
4. Which of the following about Nebojsa Nakicenovic is true? A He thinks fossil fuels are as dirty as oil and gas. B He thinks green fuels will replace oil and gas eventually. C He thinks IPCC’s view on the world’s oil reserves is too optimistic. D He thinks that IPCC’s estimates are more optimistic than the Swedes.
5. Which of the following is the near explanation of Nakicenovic's assertion that“… such a switch would be disastrous …”? A The IPCC scenarios would come true because burning coal will emit larger amounts of CO2. B A switch to burning coal would produce disastrous environmental problems.
C Oil and gas to replace coal as fuel would speed up the process of global warming. D A switch from the IPCC scenarios to the policymakers’ ones would be disastrous.
谜底与题解 :
1. D 第一段第一句 too fast for doomsday global warming scenarios to materialize中包罗 too... to布局，意义是：“太……以致于不……”。new analysis 的争议性 (controversial)在于，这类阐发以为，在大气含有充足多的二氧化碳触发地球末日到来之前，地球上一切的燃料贮存都将已燃尽。
2. B 第二段第一句告知咱们 .由于 IPCC预言了环球性冰雪熔化，这就致使了京部议定书的出台。都门议定书责成签约国削减二氧化碳的排放量。 A、C和 D都不是作者所要抒发的意义。
3. D 愈来愈多的专家以为 2010年将是煤油供给的岑岭期，紧接着便是自然气。他们以为煤油和天燃气的总量在 3,500 billion barrels摆布。而 IPCC的预算是 5,000 billion barrels。
4. D Nebojsa Nakicenovic以为瑞典人对煤油蕴藏量的预算是激进的，少于 4万亿桶，而 IPPC的预算是 5万亿桶，以是是 more optimistic的。Nakicenovic是 energy economist, 以是既是经济学家，又是动力专家。他认
91
为 IPCC的预算斟酌到一些国际认定的燃料贮存， A、B和 C都不合适文章的意义。
5. B文章昀后一段中的 he指上段中的 Nebojsa Nakicenovic。他以为有大量的公开煤能够开采，煤的熄灭能使 IPCC的预言成为实际，可是熄灭煤会发生灾害性的效果。 such a switch指从利用煤油和自然气到利用煤的转换。
