Question
which of these is evidence of global warming? a. falling global temperatures b. overall rising sea levels c. an increase in the size of glaciers d. stable precipitation patterns
Global warming causes ice - sheets and glaciers to melt. This melting water flows into the oceans, increasing the volume of water in the oceans and leading to rising sea levels. Falling global temperatures (A) would be the opposite of global warming. An increase in glacier size (C) would mean more ice accumulation, which is not in line with global warming (glaciers are generally shrinking due to global warming). Stable precipitation patterns (D) do not indicate the warming of the planet. Rising sea levels (B) are a well - known consequence and evidence of global warming.
