9、arths ozone layer(臭氧层) has until now protected Antarctica from the worst effects of global warming. But scientists have warned that as the hole closes up in the next few decades, temperatures on the continent could rise by around 3 on average, with melting ice contributing to a global sea level incr

10、ease of up to 1.4 metres In the past decades the western Antarctic has seen rapid ice loss as the world has warmed, but the other parts of the continent have, paradoxically, been cooling, resulting in a 10% increase in ice in the seas around the region.

11、s increased cold winds in Antarctica, making much of the continent surface colder than usual But now that the gasses that cause the ozone hole have been banned, scientists expect the hole to repair itself within the next 50 to 60 years.

12、c will face the full impact of global warming.

14、sulted in a 10% rise in global sea level in recent decades Johnson believes that international action to reduce global warming is required immediately or it may be too late. “Everything is connectedAntarctica may be a long way away but it is an important part of the Earths system,” said Johnson. “It

15、 contains 90% of the worlds ice, 70% of the worlds fresh water and that is enough, if it melts completely, to raise sea levels by 63 metres.” Even in a worse case situation scientists dont expect the ice to entirely disappear, but predict that, because of the melting ice sheets, average sea level ri
