For the past several years, scientists have issued ominous warnings about the future of the Earth’s climate. Predictions of dramatic global change arising from the continued dumping of industrial by – products into the atmosphere and forest loss of massive scale can no longer be ignored. Compelling scientific evidence strongly suggests that world climate patterns, previously regarded as reliably stable, could be thrust into a state of turmoil. Emissions of natural and synthetic gases are increasing the heat-trapping capacity of the atmosphere through a phenomenon known as the greenhouse effect.

The projected impacts of this world-wide climatic disruption dwarf many of the environmental problems of the past.

That world climate patterns will change drastically is

• probable

• improbable

• possible

• possible

Real policeman, both in Britain and the united state, hardly recognize any resemblance between their lives and what they see on TV- if they ever get home in time. There are similarities, of course, but the cops don’t think much of them.
The first difference is that a policeman’s real-life revolves around the law. Most of his training is in criminal law. He has to know exactly what actions are crimes and what evidence can be used to prove them in court, he has to know nearly as much law as a professional lawyer, and what is more, he has to apply it on his feet, in the dark and rain, running down an alley after someone he wants to talk to.
Little of his time is spent in chatting to scantily-clad ladies or in dramatic confrontations with desperate criminals. He will spend most of his working life typing millions of words on thousands of forms about hundreds of sad, unimportant people who are guilty -or not-of stupid, petty crimes.
Most television crime drama is about finding the criminal: as he’s arrested, the story is over, in real life, finding criminals is seldom much of a problem. Except in very serious cases like murders and terrorist attacks where failure to produce results reflects on the standing of the police-little effort is spent on searching. The police have an elaborate machinery which eventually shows up most wanted men.

The everyday life of a policeman or detective is
