We knew that summer 2003 was remarkable: global warming at last madeitself unmistakably Britain experienced its record high temperature andcontinental Europe saw forest fires raging out of control, great rivers dryingof a trickle and thousands of heat related deaths. But just how remarkable isonly now becoming clean. B The three months of June, July and Augustwere the warmest ever recorded in western and central Europe, with recordnational highs in Portugal, Germany and Switzerland as well as Britain. Andthey were the warmest by a very long way Over a great rectangular block of theearth stretching from west of Paris to northern Italy, taking in Switzerlandand southern Germany, the average temperature for the summer months was 3.78℃ above thelong-term norm, said the Climatic Research Unit (CRU) of the University of EastAnglia in Norwich, which is one of the world’s lending institutions for themonitoring and analysis of temperature records. C That excess might not seem a lot until youare aware of the context-but then you realise it is enormous. There is nothinglike this in previous data, anywhere. It is considered so exceptional thatProfessor Phil Jones, the CRU’s director, is prepared to say openly-in a wayfew scientists have done before that the 2003 extreme may be directlyattributed, not to natural climate variability, but to global warming caused byhuman actions. D Meteorologists have hitherto contentedthemselves with the formula that recent high temperatures are consistent withpredictions” of climate change. For the great block of the map-that stretchingbetween 35-50N and 0-20E-the CRU has reliable temperature records dating backto 1781. Using as a baseline the average summer temperature recorded between1961 andl990, departures from the temperature norm, or “anomalies’: over thearea as a whole can easily be plotted. As the graph shows, such is thevariability of our climate that over the past 200 years, there have been atleast half a dozen anomalies, in terms of excess temperature-the peaks on thegraph denoting very hot years approaching, or even exceeding, 20 ℃ . But therehas been nothing remotely like 2003，when the anomaly is nearly four degrees. E“Thisis quite remarkable,” Professor Jones told The Independent. “It’s very unusualin a statistical sense. If this series had a normal statistical distribution,you wouldn’t get this number. There turn period “how often it could be expectedto recur” would be something like one in a thou-sand years. If we look at anexcess above the average of nearly four degrees, then perhaps nearly threedegrees of that is natural variability, because we’ve seen that in pastsummers. But the final degree of it is likely to be due to global warming,caused by human actions. F The summer of 2003 has, in a sense, been onethat climate scientists have long been expecting. Until now, the warming hasbeen manifesting itself mainly in winters that have been less cold than insummers that have been much hotter. Last week, the United Nations predictedthat winters were warming so quickly that winter sports would die out inEurope’s lower-level ski resorts. But sooner or later the unprecedented hotsummer was bound to come, and this year it did. G One of the most dramatic features of thesummer was the hot nights, especially in the first half of August. In Paris,the temperature never dropped below 230 ℃ (73.40 ℉ ) atall between 7 and 14August, and the city recorded its warmest-ever night on11-12 August, when the mercury did not drop below 25.50 ℃ (77.90 ℉ ). Germanyrecorded its warmest-ever night at Weinbiet in the Rhine valley with a lowestfigure of 27.60℃ (80.60 ℉ ) on 13 August, and similar record-breaking nighttimetemperatures were recorded in Switzerland and Italy. H The 15,000 excessdeaths in France during August, compared with previous years, have been relatedto the high night-time temperatures. The number gradually increased during thefirst 12days of the month, peaking at about 2,000 per day on the night of 12-13August, then fell off dramatically after 14 August when the minimumtemperatures fell by about 50C. The elderly were most affected, with a 70 percent increase in mortality rate in those aged 75-94. I For Britain, the yearas a whole is likely to be the warmest ever recorded, but despite the hightemperature record on 10 August, the summer itself defined as the June, Julyand August period-still comes behind 1976 and 1995, when there were longerperiods of intense heat. At the moment, the year is on course to be thethird-hottest ever in the global temperature record，which goes back to 1856, behind1998 and 2002 but when all the records for October, November and December arecollated, it might move into second place, Professor Jones said. The 10 hottestyears in the record have all now occurred since 1990. Professor Jones is in nodoubt about the astonishing nature of European summer of 2003.”The temperaturesrecorded were out of all proportion to the previous record,” he said. “It wasthe warmest summer in the past 500 years and probably way beyond that It wasenormously exceptional.” J His colleagues at the University of EastAnglia’s Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research are now planning a specialstudy of it. “It was a summer that has not: been experienced before, either interms of the temperature extremes that were reached, or the range and diversityof the impacts of the extreme heat,” said the centre’s executive director,Professor Mike Hulme. “It will certainly have left its mark on a number ofcountries, as to how they think and plan for climate change in the future, muchas the 2000 floods have revolutionised the way the Government is thinking aboutflooding in the UK.“ The 2003 heat wave will have similar repercussions acrossEurope.” Questions 14-19 Do the following statements agree with the informationgiven in Reading Passage 2? In boxes 14-19 on your answer sheet, write T/F/NG 14 The average summer temperature in 2003 isapproximately four degrees higher than that of the past. 15 Jones believes the temperature statistic is within thenormal range. 16Human factor is one of the reasons that caused hot summer. 17 In large city,people usually measure temperature twice a day. 18 Global warming has obviouseffect of warmer winter instead of hotter summer before 2003. 19 New skiresorts are to be built on a high-altitude spot.
