Message from the Mother Nature

1-The main point of the passage is that the extreme weather recently is not sure to be a sign of climate change.

2-Hard words
acre: land's area measurement; 640 square mile
skeptic: a person who doubt something's truthness
dispute: to argue or debate
torrential: pour rapidly and violently

3-Weather happen/change in a short period of time and climate happen/change over a long period of time.

4-Extreme Weather
Torrential monsoon rains-Pakistan
Record-breaking heat wave and record breaking drought-Russia
Flood-New England, Tennessee, Arkansas, and Oklahoma
Record-breaking heat wave-eastern part of US

5-I've never experienced extreme weather.

6-Perception: understand/awareness of something

7-My perception is that for the time being, we couldn't stop global warming but everyone of us could helped slowing global warming down.
