Improve the following short essay by changing the underlined adjective and adverb clauses to participial phrases. Global Warming One of the biggest problems that faces humankind in the next few decades is the problem of global warming. In the past 150 years, global temperatures have risen approximately 1°C (1.8°F). The year 1998 was the warmest year that has ever been recorded. If temperatures continue to rise, the consequences could be catastrophic. As Earth’s temperature rises, polar ice will melt, which will cause the water level of the oceans to rise. Rising ocean levels, in turn, will cause flooding along the coasts. Global warming will also cause major changes in climate that will affect agriculture. For example, crops that were previously grown in Guatemala may not do so well because it will become too hot. Because they believe that the increase in carbon dioxide in Earth’s atmosphere is the primary cause of global warming, scientists have urged immediate action to decrease CO2 levels. They are asking the world’s governments to write an agreement that will control the amount of CO2 that is released into the atmosphere. After each government signs such an agreement, each government will have to enforce it. Brazilians, for example, will have to stop burning their rain forests, and Americans will have to stop driving their gas-guzzling SUVs.
