Read the following text then answer the questions: Most
scientists all over the world agree that one of the biggest
problems in the world right now is the problem of climate weather
change. All of the pollution (dirty air that comes from cars,
planes..) is making the world climate warmer. This warmer weather
is melting the ice at the North and South Poles, and the water from
the melting ice makes the ocean rise. Also, when weather changes,
plants and animals have to change, too. The only way to stop this
climate change is to make less pollution. The United Nations had
the first international conference (meeting), about the problem of
pollution and climate in 1996. There have been six conferences
since then. Each conference tries to get all of the countries of
the world to agree on how to make less pollution. Each Conference
has had some success, but there is still a lot of work to do. Page
