8、imate more extreme. A hot, dry summer has caused another flood of such claims. And one of the players that benefit the most from this story is the media: the idea of “extreme” climate simply makes for more exciting news. Consider Paul Krugman writing breathlessly in The New York Times about the “ris

9、ing incidence of extreme events.” He claims that global warming caused the current drought in Americas Midwest, and that supposedly record-high corn prices could cause a global food crisis(危机)。 But the United Nationss latest assessment tells us precisely the oppositethere has an overall slight tende

Finally, Krugman forgets that concerns

12、about global warming are the main reason that corn prices have skyrocketed since 2005.Nowadays 40 percent of corn grown in the United States is used to produce ethanol(乙醇)，which raises the price of corn at the expense of many of the worlds poorest people.

In fact, the latest study on global wildfire suggests that fire incidence has declined over the past 70

14、 years and is now close to its preindustrial level. When wellmeaning campaigners want us to pay attention to global warming, they often end up making overstatements. And exaggerated(夸张的) claims merely fuel public distrust and unconcern. That is unfortunate, because global warming is a real problem,

Online sales now represent as much as 10% of all retail sales in the United States. This has led traditional stor

20、es to seek new ways to keep their customers loyal.

Experts say American online sho

22、pping hit records in both November and December. 57% of Americans have bought something electronically. Store owners worry that this growing amount of online sales will hurt their business. Cornell University marketing professor Ed Melaughlin says they can keep their customers by selling goods like

23、clothing, which buyers may want to see and try on before purchasing. The stores could also offer things that are difficult to ship. Besides, some stores can please customers by offering to repair electronic products.Bill Martin is the founder of Shopper Trak. His business helps stores learn about th
