Many developing countries are becoming industrialized
The number of cars on our streets is growing

Effects of Global Warming
Global warming will have a significant impact on our planet
Rising temperature will cause melting of the polar ice caps
Sea levels will rise
We can expect more extreme weather conditions

Nuclear power stations are cleaner than fossil fuel power stations
They could help to reduce carbon emissions that cause global warming The risks of accidents are being reduced
Nuclear Power: negatives
Opponents of nuclear power worry about the safety of power stations
The building of new nuclear power stations is unpopular
Nobody wants to live near one
Nuclear waste disposal is a significant problem
There is currently no way to decontaminate radioactive material
