Global warming is the increase in the average temperature of Earths near-surface air and oceans. It is caused by increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases resulting from human activity such as fossil fuel burning and deforestation. This has negative consequences amongst which are a rise in sea levels by thermal expansion of water through the addition of water to oceans from the melting of continental ice sheets. Rising sea levels have for example as a result of global warming completely submerged the New Moore, a tiny rock Island in the Sunderbans Bay of Bengal thereby resolving a dispute between India and Bangladesh who for nearly 30 years have been disputing over its control. As for me, I care about global warming and I cannot afford to watch rising sea levels submerge another island without taking action. A few technologies such as mitigation, damage reduction through adaptation and geoengineering although usually associated with some draw backs are a way out as they provide a variety of options to put us on a path toward a stable climate thereby avoiding such drastic impacts. donderdag 25 maart 2010
Who cares less about Global Warming? Definitely neither Bangladesh nor India

Global warming is the increase in the average temperature of the Earth's Earths near-surface air and oceans. It is caused by increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases resulting from human activity such as fossil fuel burning and deforestation. This has negative consequences amongst which are STYLE: including a rise in... a rise in sea levels by thermal expansion of water through the addition of water to oceans from the melting of continental ice sheets STYLE: too many nouns in the previous part; use verbs: 'because ice melts which adds more water to the ocenas.... Rising sea levels have for example as a result STYLE: have as a result = result (verb) of global warming completely submerged the New Moore, a tiny rock Island in the Sunderbans Bay of Bengal thereby resolving a dispute between India and Bangladesh who for nearly 30 years have been disputing over its control. As for me, I care about global warming and I cannot afford to watch rising sea levels submerge another island without taking action. A few technologies such as mitigation, damage reduction through adaptation and geoengineering, although usually associated with some draw backs, are a way out as they provide a variety of options to put us on a path toward a stable climate, thereby avoiding such drastic impacts.STYLE: sentence too long/too many levels; adding commas could already help quite a bit
BeantwoordenVerwijderenAccuracy: mind the use of the genitive
Style: KISS, keep it shorter and simpler (try to read the sentences outloud or imagine explaining it to someone in a bar)
