The document discusses five sources that relate to human activities impacting climate change. Smith et al. (2010) and Peterson et al. (2010) discuss how human activities can change the climate and how climate is controlled by energy balance. Smith et al. (2010) also note that winds and ocean currents redistribute heat across Earth. Jones & Smith (2010) argue that greenhouse gases have increased 30% over 200 years from changes in land use and burning fossil fuels. Lucas et al. (2010) mention that accumulating greenhouse gases from human activities will enhance the greenhouse effect and increase average global temperatures.

Academic English / Paraphrasing Exercises
1)
Smith
et
al.,
(2010)
state
that
human
activities
can
also
change
the
climate. It
has
been
suggested
that
climate
change
is
influenced
by
human
activity
(Smith
et
al.,
2010) 2)
Peterson
et
al.,
(2010)
point
out
that
climate
is
controlled
by
the
long
term
balance
of
energy
of
the
earth
and
its
atmosphere. According
to
Peterson
et
al,
(2010)
the
lasting
equilibrium
of
energy
between
the
earth
and
the
atmosphere
is
regulated
by
the
climate. 3)
Smith
et
al.,
(2010)
note
that
winds
and
ocean
currents
redistribute
heat
over
the
surface
of
the
earth. The
continuous
distribution
of
warmth
is
through
wind
and
ocean
currents
across
the
periphery
of
the
planet
(Smith
et
al.,
2010). 4)
Jones
&
Smith,
(2010)
argue
that
the
atmospheric
amounts
of
many
greenhouse
gases
are
increasing,
especially
carbon
dioxide,
which
has
increased
by
30
%
over
the
last
200
years,
primarily
as
a
result
of
changes
in
land
use
(e.g.,
deforestation)
and
burning
coal,
and
natural
gas
(e.g.,
in
automobiles,
industry,
and
electricity
generation).
Jones
&
Smiths
(2010)
argument
holds
validity
that
over
the
last
20
years
there
has
been
a
30%
increase
in
Greenhouse
gases
(CO2)
due
to
the
manipulation
of
the
environment
for
the
benefit
of
globalisation.
5)
Lucus
et
al.,
(2010)
mention
that
the
accumulation
of
greenhouse
gases
in
the
atmosphere
due
to
human
activities
will
change
the
climate
by
enhancing
the
natural
greenhouse
effect,
leading
to
an
increase
in
in
the
earths
average
temperature.
Lucus
et
al.,
(2010)
argue
that
the
earths
average
temperature
is
increasing
because
of
human
activity
through
the
intensification
of
atmospheric
greenhouse
gases.
