hot vs global warming. sorry. please ignore other thread. urgent!

Question

sorry guys! I did my other thread wrong. I accidentally pressed enter while writing it and I tried to edit it, but it won't let me. question below

What is the difference between global warming and very hot weather in spanish? I mean, I have a picture of a thermomether with a very high temperature and a picture of a globe sweating (global warming). Do you think this is okay? -hace calor and hace mucho calor? Is that enough emphasis or should I say a more emphasized phrase?

no high vocab plz, am only in spanish 2

How about: "No hace calor, pero hace mucho calor" It's just the difference between hot and very hot, and "hace" is the proper way to say "it is" in Spanish when talking about the weather. - Jubilado, Mar 6, 2013

Thanks, but do you think that is enough? I mean global warming means really hot! Thank you though, That is very helpful. - randomguy123, Mar 6, 2013

Answer 1

El caletamiento global is global warming. La tierra is earth. Perhaps you could use your Spanish skills to say "The earth isn't just hot, it is global warming." My bet is that you can figure that out. If not post an attempt and we will help.

Thanks, but my teacher doesn't expect us to do something like that. Do you think the emphasis is enough, between hace calor and hace mucho calor? We haven't learned el calentamiento global, so she will take off points for stuff we haven't learned. - randomguy123, Mar 6, 2013

Answer 2

What about temperature elevada vs hace calor?

Answer 3

Well, first, with no disrespect, global warming doesn't even vaguely mean very hot, in English or Spanish or any other language, likely. So, if you're claiming you can't use the term global warming anyway, again, with all due respect, I only want to help, I don't know why you introduced the term into the conversation. It reduces our ability to help you.

Maybe you could restate your question and what you're looking for and we could better help. If you're in you're second semester, thus should be doable, though admittedly, just.

Post up and we'll help.

Buena suerte

Thanks. I'll show you the picture that I think represents global warming. Please use a very short phrase to describe it, using "hace." "esta" or other weather conditions. I don't want a straight out noun like el calentamiento global. I want a phrase. - randomguy123, Mar 6, 2013

Answer 4

Did you not like my answer from the first time you asked it? I thought I did a fair job using a pretty basic way to explain global warming using easy words. If you reconsider, here is the link to were I answered it the first time: link

Mike, thank you so much for your help! I think you did a great job, but I don't think you really undersrtood what I was trying to say. I just wanted more opinions, because this is for a big grade and I want to get it straight. Continued... - randomguy123, Mar 7, 2013

sorry for my ignorance. Do you think I should write "somebody took pills" - randomguy123, Mar 7, 2013
