VII Read a text about common wedding rituals in the USA and answer the questions that follow
One of the factors in global warming is carbon monoxide The more carbon monoxide in the
atmosphere, the less the atmosphere is able to clean itself The result is a warming of the atmosphere, the so-called global warming, and possibly ozone damage
Earlier, it was found that carbon monoxide was concentrated in the Southern Hemisphere, and could be attributed to deforestation Huge areas of forest and grasslands in South America and Africa have been burned, putting carbon monoxide into the atmosphere Recently, however, the Southern Hemisphere has been found to
be clean, while the Northern Hemisphere is more polluted than expected
The latest research was done during the northern winter The high levels in the Northern Hemisphere could be because of this In winter carbon monoxide is destroyed more slowly There are also more fires burned in winter, and possibly industrial processes work harder It could also reflect the ever-increasing number of cars on the roads Optimists hope that the reason why the North has overtaken the South as the major area of carbon monoxide is that at last the burning has stopped, or at least slowed down
