Section: Global Warming
Read the passage below and answer the questions that follow. Many scientists think that the increasing greenhouse gases in our atmosphere result in increasing the average temperature on Earth. The result, they believe, will be a warmer Earth. This predicted increase in global temperature is known as global warming. Earth's average global temperature increased during the 20th century. Many scientists project that the warming trend that began in the 20th cen- tury will continue throughout the 21st century. However, not all sci- entists agree that the observed global warming is due to greenhouse gases. Some scientists believe that the warming is part of natural cli- matic variability. They point out that widespread fluctuations in tem- perature have occurred throughout geologic time.
IDENTIFYING MAIN IDEAS
One reading skill is the ability to identify the main idea of a passage. The main idea is the main focus or key idea. Frequently, a main idea is accompanied by supporting information that offers detailed facts about main ideas. In the space provided, write the letter of the term or phrase that best completes each statement. ______1.Earth's average temperature during the 20th century. a.increasedc.stayed the same b.decreasedd.fluctuated ______
2.Scientists predict that the Earth's average temperature will
throughout the 21st century. a.stabilizec.begin to decrease b.continue to increased.fluctuate more sharply ______
3.Many scientists blame the presence of in
the atmosphere for Earth's increased average temperature. a.CFCsc.ozone b.oxygend.greenhouse gases

RECOGNIZING SIMILARITIES AND DIFFERENCES
One reading skill is the ability to recognize similarities and differences between two phrases, ideas, or things. This is sometimes known as comparing and contrasting. Read each question and write the answer in the space provided.
7.What do those scientists who believe the Earth is experiencing global warm-ing use as evidence to support their claims?
8.What do these scientists say is the cause of global warming?
9.What do those scientists who do notbelieve the Earth is experiencing global
warming use as evidence to support their claims?
10.What do these scientists say is the cause of the increase in temperaturethroughout the 20th century?
16.Answers may vary. Sample answer:
Fossil fuels are the remains of plants
that lived millions of years ago. Fossil fuels represent millions of years worth of photosynthetic activity that pulled enormous quantities of carbon dioxide out of the air and converted it into hydrocarbons. Now we are burning the fossil fuels and returning these millions of years worth of stored car- bon to the atmosphere much faster than the carbon was originally removed.
