The three months of June, July and August in 2003 were the warmest ever (34) _ in

western and central Europe, with record national highs in Portugal, Germany and Switzerland as well

as in Britain And they were the warmest by a very long way Over a great rectangular block of the Earth stretching from west of Paris to northern Italy, taking in Switzerland and southern Germany,

(35) _ average temperature for the 2003 summer months was 3.78°C above the long-term norm,

said the Climatic Research Unit (CRU) of the University of East Anglia in Norwich

That excess might not seem a lot until you are aware of the context - but then you realise it is enormous There is nothing like this in previous data, anywhere It is considered so exceptional that Professor Phil Jones, the CRU's director, is prepared to say openly - in a way few scientists have done before - that the 2003 extreme may be directly attributed, not to natural climate variability,

(36) _ to global warming caused by human actions.

The summer of 2003 has, in a sense, been one (37) _ climate scientists have long been

expecting Until now, the warming has been manifesting itself mainly in winters that have been less cold than in summers that have been much hotter Last week, the United Nations predicted that winters were warming so quickly that winter sports would die out in Europe’s lower-level ski resorts

But sooner or later, the unprecedented hot summer was bound (38) _, and this year it did.

Da Vinci was born in Italy in 1452 He took to art at an early age and at age 14, he went to study as an apprentice in Florence under the artist Verrocchio For the next six years, Da Vinci picked up drawing, carpentry, sculpting, and many other techniques from his master and his talent was evident In fact, Da Vinci was such a good painter that his talent frustrated his master Eventually, Verrocchio was so frustrated by his student’s genius that he stopped painting altogether

Da Vinci would draw up plans for several futuristic inventions including tanks, submarines,

and flying machines He also mastered the art of drawing every muscle and detail of the human body.

The only criticism one could make of Da Vinci is that his brilliant mind jumped so quickly from subject to subject that he rarely completed the works he started The ones he did finish were often

spectacular masterpieces, such as his paintings The Last Supper and the timeless Mona Lisa The latter, which is on display at the Louvre in Paris, is arguably the most famous painting of all times

because of its incredible detail and realism

Although Da Vinci died in 1519, his effect on the art world has never waned He helped coin

the term “Renaissance man” which refers to someone who excels in many different areas Perhaps

the greatest present Da Vinci left behind was his journals Admirers and students of his work can examine 13,000 pages of his notes, drawings, and ideas to better understand what made this genius tick

There are few meals as nutritious as a plate of fresh fish Whether eaten steamed or raw, fish provides our bodies with healthy fats and it tastes great, too Yet for years, the fishing industry has practised overfishing, depleting the world’s oceans It has been estimated that 85 percent of stocks worldwide have been diminished to a dangerous level Statistics show that the average person consumes more than four times as much fish as someone from the 1950s As the world’s population grows and more people are able to afford pricier foods, the problem will likely get worse

In truth, knowledge of the shortage of fish is not something new Since the late 1980s, despite increased technology and a greater demand for fish, the total global catch has not increased Eager to make a buck, some fishermen have resorted to illegal tactics to catch more fish and increase their income They will violate regulations by fishing in waters that are supposed to be off-limits To make matters worse, they often use mile-long drift nets which trap and kill large numbers of unwanted marine life for no reason at all These practices only serve to destroy fishes’ habitats and speed up the rate of population decline

As a result of dwindling fish supplies, many nations are turning to farmed fish About half of the fish sold today is derived from this practice Supporters point out its efficiency and that it is more feasible to support populations in this manner than with land animals However, there are still many

hurdles to overcome Many of the current farm fisheries are poorly run by their owners Poor

practices can lead to marine pollution, as waters can be filled with fish manure and extra feed that is not consumed Some farmed fish have limited space, which causes disease This in turn can lead to health issues for the people who consume the fish

Still, some regard fish farming as the way of the future They suggest that with a few

modifications, it would be possible to meet the growing demand for fish Others have suggested more drastic measures, such as placing a ten-year ban on capturing some species, to deal with the shortage These people argue that a decade would provide sufficient time for the fish population to replenish itself back to healthy levels Hopefully, nations can come together and agree upon an effective course

of action before it is too late
