  • 12. Directly Stated predictions Sometimes authors tell you directly what is being predicted The term “greenhouse effect” refers to the heating up of Earth’s atmosphere. It is caused by the action of the sun on gases that are released when we burn coal, oil, or other fuels. Some scientists predict that if the atmosphere heats up by only two or three degrees, ice at the North and South Poles will melt. The melting ice will be enough to make the oceans rise two to eight feet. All of this may occur in the next 100 years or so. ATTEMPT INDIVIDUALLY
