Climate change is having a significant effect on one of the biggest green turtle populations in the world. A study shows that 99% of immature green turtles born in the northern part of Australia’s Great Barrier Reef are female. Among adult turtles, 87% are female. The result is 41 —rising temperatures have turned sea turtle population female. The sex of a sea turtle is 42 by the temperature of the nesting environment. Warm temperatures produce more female hatchlings, and cooler temperatures produce more males. During the past two decades, temperatures in northern Great Barrier Reef have increased to the point that virtually no male turtles are produced, 43 raises new concerns over the immediate threats of climate change to the population’s future. Sea turtles, protected under the Endangered Species Act, are among the most ancient species roaming the oceans and have adjusted to shifting climates. Increasing numbers of females may 44 be a good thing for its population. The reproductive potential can be boosted. The problem, however, is that the modern climate appears to be changing faster than turtles can adjust to it. Species evolve 45 climate and other environmental changes, but they need time for that. According to researchers of World Wildlife Fund Australia, setting up shade cloth to cool beaches might help, but the only sustainable solution is to stop climate change.

思路引導 VIP
請觀察空格後面的兩句話：前一句在討論「增加繁殖潛力（好處）」，後一句卻出現了 "The problem, however..."。當作者想要先描述一個表面上的現象，隨後馬上要提出一個反向的、更深層的問題時，通常會用什麼樣的時間副詞來暗示這種「起初看來如此，但後續並非如此」的轉變呢？
