How Equal Are Woman, Really?
On the face of it, women in Britain haven’t done too badly over the passed 0. past
thirty years. There has been a woman Prime Minister a woman has gone into 0. Minister, a
space, and women are ordained as priests. They have won the right to equal 0.
pay with men for the same work inspite of the fact that they still earn only 1.
80% of their male colleague’s salaries. They have even become professionals 2.
in what have always been considered male sports, like football. But can it 3.
really be said that equality of the sexes is fact rather than wishful thinking. 4.
The trouble begins at school, though equality shouldn’t be an issue in 5.
education since, acording to the Department of Education’s statistics, they do 6.
better than boys in exams at all levels. Nevertheless, they are at an immediate 7.
disadvantage as soon as they apply for jobs and go out to work. Teachers 8.
believe its vital to overcome this by encouraging them to study subjects like 9.
physics, which have been almost exclusively a male preserve. A peice of 10.
research recently carried out at Reading University may explain why boys 11.
succeed, weather or not they have better academic qualifications. It shows 12.
that they are willing to call out answers in class and risk making mistakes, 13.
whereas girls feel self conscious. This capacity to take the lead is why boys 14.
tend to make a better impresion at an interview for a business career, though 15.
they may not always prove to be the best choice thereafter.

PART 2:
Day after day we hear about how anthropogenic development is causing global warming.
According to an increasingly vocal minority, however, we should be asking ourselves how much
of this is media hype and how much is based on real evidence. It seems, as so often is the case
that it depends on which expert you listen to, or which statistics you study.
Yes, it is true that there is a mass of evidence to indicate that the world is getting warmer,
with one of the world's leading weather predictors stating that air temperatures have shown an
increase of just under half a degree Celsius since the beginning of the twentieth century. And
while this may not sound like anything worth losing sleep over, the international press would
have us believe that the consequences could be devastating. Other experts, however, are of the
opinion that what we are seeing is just part of a natural upward and downward swing that has
always been part of the cycle of global weather. An analysis of the views of major
meteorologists in the United States showed that less than 20% of them believed that any change
in temperature over the last hundred years was our own fault - the rest attributed it to natural
cyclical changes.
There is, of course, no denying that we are still at a very early stage in understanding
weather. The effects of such variables as rainfall, cloud formation, the seas and oceans gases
such as methane and ozone, or even solar energy are still not really understood, and therefore the
predictions that we make using them cannot always be relied on. Dr. James Hansen, in 1988, was
predicting that the likely effects of global warming would be a rising of world temperature which
would have disastrous consequences for mankind: “a strong cause and effect relationship
between the current climate and human alteration of the atmosphere ". He has now gone on
record as stating that using artificial models of climate as a way of predicting change is all but
impossible. In fact, he now believes that, rather than getting hotter, our planet is getting greener
as a result of the carbon dioxide increase, with the prospect of increasing vegetation in areas
which in recent history have been frozen wastelands.
In fact, there is some evidence to suggest that as our computer-based weather models have
become more sophisticated, the predicted rises in temperature have been cut back. In addition, if
we look at the much reported rise in global temperature over the last century, a close analysis
reveals that the lion's share of that increase, almost three quarters in total, occurred before man
began to "poison" his world with industrial processes and the accompanying greenhouse gas
emissions in the second half of the twentieth century.
So should we pay any attention to those stories that scream out at us from billboards and
television news headlines, claiming that man, with his inexhaustible dependence on oil-based
machinery and ever more sophisticated forms of transport is creating a nightmare level of
greenhouse gas emissions, poisoning his environment and ripping open the ozone layer?
Doubters point to scientific evidence, which can prove that, of all the greenhouse gases, only two
percent come from man-made sources, the rest resulting from natural emissions. Who, then, to
believe: the environmentalist exhorting us to leave the car at home, to buy re-usable products
packaged in recycled paper and to plant trees in our back yard? Or the skeptics, including, of
course, a lot of big businesses who have most to lose, when they tell us that we are making a
mountain out of a molehill? And my own opinion? The jury's still out as far as I am concerned!
