What does "heat-trapping" mean?
House Approves Bill to Address Threat of Global Warming
The 219-212 vote marked the first time that either house of
Congress has approved a bill aimed at curbing the
heat-trapping gases scientists have linked to climate change,
and it could lead to sweeping changes in many sectors of the
American economy, including electric power generation,
agriculture, manufacturing and construction. _________________ Hiromichi |

熱が気体に捕まる
'Heat-trapping' means these gases stop heat from leaving the Earth. They are also known as 'greenhouse gases' in lots of English articles. EG methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2). _________________ Try some mini, on-line adventure games to help your English at: www.gameenglish.com |
