Comprehension Quiz

1. What does the word "former" refer to in this context?

Global warming. Climate fluctuation. Human activity.

2. What is the "consensus" among scientists?

That the changes are natural. That history is repeating itself. That the speed of change is new and human-driven.

3. What does "unprecedented" mean?

Never happened before. Happened many times. Very dangerous.

Lecturer: We must distinguish between 'climate fluctuation' as a general phenomenon and 'global warming' as a specific trend. The former has occurred naturally throughout history, while the latter is largely driven by human activity.

Student: Does that imply the current changes are not natural?

Lecturer: Precisely. The consensus among scientists is that the rate of change is unprecedented. It is a stark contradiction to historical patterns.
