A) Read the text below and choose the correct answer:

Debate about global warming goes on

Although only a significant fraction of scientists deny the global warming crisis, the

time for debate is not over yet. Indeed, NASA scientists claimed that, 1998 was

the warmest year on record, but now they know it was a mistake. The hottest year

on record is now 1934. The third hottest year is 1921, not 2006. The t ruth is that

scientists are still discussing if global warming is caused by modern greenhouse

gas emissions or high temperatures began long before that.

There is, however, someone who warns about the dangers of global warming

wherever he goes: this is Al Gore, who recently said that Spain is the European

country most vulnerable to climate changes, but he added that it can fight global

warming thanks to i ts sun and wind power capacit ies. After h is speech, the

Spanish government dec ided to buy 30,000 copies of Gores documentary on

cl imate change, an Inconvenient Truth , for use as an educational tool in

secondary schools and the Education Minist ry has agreed to distribute the movie

to schools around Spain, at a cost of 580,000 .

However, Gores reputation is not without stains. In the UK, a judge said that the

documentary contained nine scientific errors that had caused alarmism and

exaggeration and finally decided that the film could be shown in schools, but only

if accompanied by guidance not es for teachers to balance Gores one-sidedviews.

It seems that doubts about the dangers of global warming have spread and there

is significant evidence to suggest that debate among scientists is still raging.
