An a

14、verage rise of 4-5 by the end of this century is more likely, they say, given increasing carbon release(释放) and a lack of political control.Such a change would impinge on food and water supplies, kill thousands of species of plants and animals and cause sea level rises that would destroy the homes o

15、f hundreds of millions of people.The survey of those who follow global warming most closely shows a widening gap between political and scientific opinions on climate change.
