今天Obstacle文章带大家看的是Modify the climate.科学家声称技术可以改变气候，这到底是fact呢还是fiction呢，读完即知。作为背景了解和铺垫，Speaker和Speed的文章选了有关Climate Change的内容，这两部分的文章均来自David Biello ，一位Environment & Energy editor，经常听60-second听力的童鞋对他的名字会比较熟悉。

今天的文章信息量比较大，认真读噢！

Clock Ticking on Climate Change Prevention
The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's new synthesis report adds urgency to the need to cut additional greenhouse gas pollution
November 2, 2014 |By David Biello

Climate change is real. Carbon dioxide from burning fossil fuels and clearing forests, among other human activities, is to blame. And more and more of that global warming pollution is being dumped in the atmosphere each year.

So says the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's new synthesis report released on November 2. The synthesis reduces thousands of pages of scientific knowledge to their essence. That essence, however, has hardly changed since the last synthesis report in 2007.

What has changed is the concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, which have now touched 400 parts per million. Pollution in the first decade of the 21st century grew twice as fast as it did in the last few decades of the 20th century. The resulting global warming poses risks ranging from rising sea levels that drown inhabited coasts to crop failures from stronger heat waves and drought.

The IPCC has now offered a budget for how much pollution people can add to the atmosphere without too much climate change. Unfortunately, humanity has already used more than half of that budget.

The world's nations are meeting in Lima this year in hopes of hammering out a global deal to combat climate change to be agreed upon in Paris in 2015. The new report is a reminder to world leaders that the stakes, like the seas, are high.

warm up  2'56''
scientists want to change the climate with the geoengineering method.
time 2 6'07''
to define what is the geoengineering
1.the geoengineering was an intentionally planetary scale intervention.
2.term was introduced in dictionary in 2010.3.the G is defined by the scale not by the function 4.the US used G as the trails for their military aiming is the application of the G
time 3 4'37s
the application of the detonating bomb is to use the debris of the nuclear explosion to emit the electromagnic belt to control the launch.the electronmagnic interrupt  the radio wave and it is the planetary scale interruption.
这段有点没有读懂
time 4 3'27s
the geoengineering may change the climate while there has the infinitely dangerous in the suspicious and disruption between the humans.
time 5
the climate and weather are relative.they could both be controlled by human beings.yet the climate and weather are interacted rather than distinct.there has the histortians to recored the relation of the weather and climate. In 1920, people try to use the airplane to sprinkle the electron...to control the weather. in 199.., the three new technology appeared,included digital computer, satelliate and neclear power that could decide the ultimate weather.
the rest
what is the ideal role of the geoengineering
it generates the interests in and awareness of impossible control of the climate
why people want to continue pursue the control after 20 years failure. the ET want to control the nature in his enginer system
the geoengineering has two categoried by histortans in the life. the commercial charlatans and propriety techniques.

1. SPEAKER PART
1)MEMORY: In the past several years, CO2has increased a lot and some activities made by human being should be to blame. IPCC put some money into solve the problem, but actually, half of this fund has already be used. Last part, the speaker says that the world leaders should do something because the sea level is rising.

2. SPEED PART
1) The main idea is the definition of geoengineering. The writer gives us two versions. But he just thinks both of them are wrong, and then he gives another one.
[341words]  2’21”
2) The second part shows some consequence of explosions in space. And in the last part, the writer also writes a letter to the dictionary company in order to want it to change the definition of geoengineering.
[288words]  1’53”
3) In this part, the writer gives an example to illustrate some bad consequence may give by using engineering method to solve the global warming problem.
[250words]  1’38”
4) An old story of geoengineering and a questioned given by the writer.
[233words]  1’25”
5) a half of this part talks about the relationship and source between climate and weather. The other part, I remember that it may talk about something people will do?(sorry, remembered not very clearly about this content)
[417words]  2’54”

3. OBSTACLE PART
REMEMBER: some geoengineering methods are introduced in the first several parts. But there are several concerns about these methods. Some thinks that they will do harm to earth. What’s more financing problem is also one of the biggest issues. The rest tries to illustrate these two aspects with more details. In the last paragraph, writer gives some countries decisions and some situations.
[1316words]  9’11”

附件放了搂搂的intended版本。嘿嘿，估计当时搂搂太着急了。这个mp3跟搂搂贴的内容是对上的呢。辛苦楼楼了！
同时，我今天做这个是过来考古了。嘿嘿，就是看了一些帖子重新调整了一下自己弄小分队的方式。

a cloud physicist put forward a theory 25 years ago that low-lying maritime clouds were made a bit brighter so that the Earth could be cooled enough to make up for the increased warming caused by emissions of greenhouse gases, and today, it is considered by several other scientists and engineer and are trying to combine the geoengineering and playing out the theory in the real world.

However, some academic critics are worried that such experiments will pose “political and social risks” that are much more troubling, like giving up on reducing carbon emissions.

Because of such concerns, financing bodies like the government have not yet shown much appetite for geoengineering experiments. But there are also some  philanthropists have been helping out. Although such research should be allowed, a set of regulatory requirements was also established.
