1)which of the following events is more likely to have been caused by climate change? a) tennessee and oregon wildfires b) 2017 hurricane harvey c) 2015 michigan earthquake d) solar eclipse 2) looking at the “summer artic sea ice area” graph, what year had the lowest area of ice? a) 2000 b) 1995 c) 2013 d) 1989 3) according to the “global average sea level rise by 2100: four scenarios,” which answer best corresponds with the expected 1 meter of total sea level rise? a) highest b) intermediate-high c) intermediate-low d) lowest

1) The correct answer is B, 2017 Hurricane Harvey. This is because, in August a tropical phenomenon was investigated. It was expected that this, in favorable weather conditions, would merge with the low pressure area of ​​Cape Verde. But both disturbances remained separate and that was the beginning. This is unlike the other events in which maybe the weather was not the only reason. It is also the first meteorological phenomenon of this type that arrives in the United States

2) The correct answer is C, 2013. This is because, if we see the graph we can observe the line in decline in this years, even compared to the others.

3) Actually, it depends on the scenario. But I would say the answer is B, because of the mayority that considers it will be a high level.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
