Question

Пожалуйста очень срочно надо написать в INDERECT SPEECH IN THE PAST. Это сессия пожалуйста. There's lots of controversy around solar geo-engineering - and for good reason. People are, I think, sensibly scared that this could provide an excuse that allows countries or companies to avoid doing the work that has to be done to cut emissions. But in fact, controversy has really waxed and waned over time, so in the early work on climate change in the 1960s, and 70s and early 80s, these ideas were just part of the way we talked about what might happen about climate change. And then, as climate change became more politically central, say in the 90s and 2000s, there was really a taboo. Neil David Keith believes that geo-engineering could provide an excuse for inaction on climate change – a reason for countries to explain why they did not take action. Sam He says controversy over the method has waxed and waned - an idiom connected with the cycle of the moon which describes something that increases then decreases over time. In the 1960s for example, geo-engineering was uncontroversial, but by the 1990s it had become taboo - a subject that is avoided for social or religious reasons. Neil While these ideas to change the weather have potential benefits, other suggestions - for example to position a giant floating mirror between the earth and sun - are highly controversial… Although personally, I think the idea of giant floating umbrella above Britain would be good! Sam Ha! Well, just think - there are even rainier places to live Neil, as I asked in my question: in which country is the world’s rainiest village? Neil I guessed it was in Ireland. Sam Which was… the wrong answer, I’m afraid. In fact, Mawsynram, the world’s wettest village, is in the Khasi hills of north-eastern India. With around twelve metres of rain a year, I guess it’s not somewhere you’ll be visiting, Neil! OK, let’s recap the vocabulary we’ve learned starting with drizzling which means raining lightly. Neil If you’re meddling you’re trying to change something which is not your responsibility or without being asked to. Sam Someone who is playing God is acting as if they control everything and can do whatever they want. Neil An excuse is a reason you give to explain why you did something wrong. Sam If something waxed and waned, it grew stronger then weaker over time. Neil And finally, a taboo is a subject that avoided for social or religious reasons. Once again, our six minutes are up! Bye for now! Sam Bye!​

During the session, Neil David Keith talked about the controversy around solar geo-engineering and how it could provide an excuse for inaction on climate change. He mentioned that in the early work on climate change in the 1960s, 70s, and early 80s, these ideas were just part of the way they talked about what might happen about climate change. However, as climate change became more politically central, say in the 90s and 2000s, there was really a taboo. Sam added that controversy over the method had waxed and waned and that Neil believed geo-engineering could provide an excuse for inaction on climate change. Sam also mentioned that although these ideas to change the weather have potential benefits, other suggestions are highly controversial. Neil guessed that the world’s rainiest village was in Ireland, but Sam corrected him and said that Mawsynram, the world’s wettest village, is in the Khasi hills of northeastern India. They went on to recap the vocabulary they learned, including drizzling, meddling, playing God, excuse, waxed and waned, and taboo.

During the session, Sam and Neil discussed the controversy surrounding solar geo-engineering. Sam stated that the controversy had waxed and waned over time, with ideas about geo-engineering being uncontroversial in the 1960s but becoming taboo in the 1990s. Neil believed that geo-engineering could provide an excuse for inaction on climate change. He also mentioned that some suggestions for geo-engineering, such as positioning a giant floating mirror between the earth and sun, were highly controversial. Sam asked Neil in which country the world's rainiest village was located, to which Neil guessed Ireland but was corrected by Sam who said it was actually Mawsynram in north-eastern India. They also recapped the vocabulary they had learned, including drizzling, meddling, playing God, excuse, waxed and waned, and taboo.
