The author states that scientists are warning that the earth temperature is increasing and human beingS iARE the main causeS of the global warming growing. By cutting down forests, and increasing the fossil fuel burning human beingS are increasing artificially the level of emission of carbon dioxide(,) and consequently increasing the earth'S temperature. The global warmingINCREASE could cause drastic changes in our planet. For example: It could increase flooding, causing extreme weather changes, animal extinction and losses IN agriculturE. The speaker mentions that the North East of United States is already suffering FROM the consequences of the global warming growing. The past winter season, with the global warming, the snow fall IS becoming LESS ,the traditional snow stormS ARE becoming rare, even in rural areas the landscape is becoming less colorful and consequently less attractive for touristS. As the economy at that specific region relIES on tourism, changes in the weather pattern, the tourism in that region is decreasing(,) which is affecting the local economy. :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Not bad Spoon, but you can do much better.

The author states that scientists are warning that the earthS temperature is increasing and human beingS ARE the main cause of the GROWTH IN global warming. By cutting down forests, and THE burning OF FOSSIL FUELS, human beingS are increasing artificially the level of emission of carbon dioxide and consequently increasing the earthS temperature. The GROWTH IN global warming growing could cause drastic changes in our planet. For example: It could increase flooding, causE extreme weather changes, animal extinction and losses of agricultural. The speaker mentions that the North East of THE United States is already suffering of the consequences of the global warming growing. The past winter season, with the global warming, the snow fall IS becoming shorter ,the traditional snow stormS ARE becoming rare(.) Even in rural areas the landscape is becoming less colorful(,) and consequently less attractive TO touristS. As the economy OF that specific region relIES on tourism, changes in the weather pattern, HAS BEEN THE CAUSE OF tourism in that region decreasing(,) which is affecting the local economy. :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: A pretty weak summation Puri.renu. Your shortage of vocabulary showed through in this work. Do more reading.
