Read the following excerpt from Gore’s Nobel speech. Last September 21, as the Northern Hemisphere tilted away from the sun, scientists reported with unprecedented distress that the North Polar ice cap is “falling off a cliff.” One study estimated that it could be completely gone during summer in less than 22 years. Another new study, to be presented by U.S. Navy researchers later this week, warns it could happen in as little as 7 years. Seven years from now. What is the impact of the one-sentence paragraph?

It shows that people have plenty of time to fix global warming

It reveals that Gore does not understand the Navy’s new study

IT starkly emphasizes just how quickly the North Polar ice cap is melting

It suggests that the second study contains questionable research.
