about the size of the problem
Đây là nhóm từ về từ vựng IELTS khí hậu phổ biến rất quan trọng:

Đây
là nhóm từ vựng về các tác động của biến đổi khí hậu đem lại:
ill-health: It sometimes goes unnoticed
that there is a clear connection between climate change and ill-health.
floods/rainstorms: One result of the
rising temperatures is that floods and rainstorms are now a frequent
occurrence.
the Polar ice cap: One major concern is that
rising temperatures in the Arctic are
causing the Polar ice cap to melt,
which in turn is leading to rising sea levels.
heatwaves and droughts: Most experts agree that there
is an increased risk of heatwaves and other extreme
weather conditions.
the natural world: Climate change will not only have a severe impact on
people, but also devastate the natural world and lead to the extinction
of important species.
food shortages: We are already seeing in many parts of the world that climate
change is leading to food
shortages as a direct consequence of extreme weather conditions.
housing/homelessness: One side-effect of rising sea levels is that
more and more people who live by the coast will become homeless.
conflicts/wars: If no action is taken on
climate change, then it is likely that there will be more conflicts
between nations, especially over water
supplies.
cost: It
has been shown that any delay in making emission cuts will increase the
cost of
reducing carbon dioxide by almost 50%.
Causes
Từ vựng
xoay quanh các vấn đề nguyên nhân biến đổi khí hậu:
human activity: It is no longer possible to say
that human
activity does
not affect weather
conditions.
greenhouse gas emissions: If we are to halt climate

and are at record levels.
illegal logging and deforestation: It should not be forgotten that illegal logging in the Amazon Basin is still a major factor inclimate
change.
burning fossil fuels: Individuals
can make a small contribution by not burning
wood and other fossil fuels.
CO2: The root cause of much global warming is
the amount of CO2 in
the atmosphere.
Possible solutions
Từ
và cụm từ liên quan đến vấn đề giải pháp để thay đổi tình hình khí hậu có chiều

wind and solar power: An obvious solution is to deploy
much more wind and solar power.
renewable energy: Wind farms and other sources of
renewable energy will
help to reduce Co2 emissions to an acceptable level.
international action/cooperation: International action on climate
change could have a significant impact.

fuels.
energy efficiency and waste: A
greater emphasis on energy efficiency and reducing waste would undoubtedly mean that
less fuel was consumed.
Ways of taking action

When you have a problem, you need to take action. These words and phrases give
you a variety of ways of saying that. Note the different structures used with
these verbs.

decisive action to
halt global warming.
fight/combat: A
way needs to be found to make combatting global warming that is affordable.

You may be asked what we as individuals can do about climate
change. Here are some ideas – there are plenty of them:
lobby MPs: If enough of us lobbied
our MPs and other elected representatives then they would have to bring

participate in peaceful protests: Another
possibility is to take part in marches and other
peaceful protests to apply pressure on governments and raise
awareness of
the issue..
community projects: In some areas there are small-scale
community projects to
encourage local residents to install solar panels and, in some places, help pay
for them.
share transport: We also have the responsibility to consider how we contribute to
global warming by making unnecessary car journeys. We can always cycle to work, have a joint school
run with
other parents and even share a car on the daily commuteto
work.
diet and our carbon footprint: Reducing food wastage is
perhaps the way individuals can minimise
their carbon footprintand so help global warming.
energy-efficient lightbulbs: Another
small way in which we can use less energy is to switch
to energy efficient lightbulbs.
solar panels: There are an increasing number
of solar
panels on
the market and these can not only reduce energy bills but also mean that less
carbon fuel is consumed.
heat insulation: Likewise, it is important that
people insulate
their houses well so
that less gas and electricity is consumed.
