Salt water is already entering the countrys drinking water supply, as well as damaging plants that produce fruit and vegetables. Without urgent help, the countrys days are numbered. But Tuvalu is not the first place to face sinking into the sea.Venice, a historic city in Italy best known for its canals, has sunk about 24cm over the past 100 years. Experts say that it will have sunk another 2050cm by 2050. A century ago, St. Marks Square, the lowest point city, flooded about nine times a year. Nowadays, it happens more than 100 times. While Venice is slowly sinking into the mud on which it stands, global warming causes Tuvalus rising sea level. The average global temperature has increased by almost 0.5 centigrade degrees over the past century; scientists expect it rise by extra 13 degrees over the next 100 years. Warmer weather makes glaciers (冰川) melt, adding more water to the ocean. The warmer temperature also makes water expand, so it takes up more space, causing the sea level to rise. The sea level has risen about 1025 cm in the last 100 years. The main cause of global warming is human pollution. Through burning coal, oil and gas, people have been increasing the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, such as CO2. This adds to the power of the greenhouse effect, making the planet even warmer. Many scientists believe that, if the warming is not stopped, there will be huge climate changes. The sea level could rise by one meter this century. Should this come true, the sea will swallow up millions of homes and the world will be flooded with “ climate refugees” looking for somewhere to live.语篇解读：由于全球变暖，冰雪融化，太平洋岛国图瓦卢面临被海水淹没的危险。1.
