Another cause is deforestation (cutting down trees) . Trees soak up carbon dioxide, one of the greenhouse gases, from the air.There are already some changes happening because of global warming. Sea level is rising and some animals are already moving to new homes. Its already too late to stop global warming completely.If the warming gets worse, as scientists expect, there may be some kinds of plants and animals that is disappearing because they cant move to new homes. There may be more storms and floods. Sea level may rise so much that people have to move away from the coasts. Some areas may become too dry for farming.Global warming is a very difficult problem to fix. People are having a hard time agreeing on what to do about it. For example, everyone agrees that wasting energy is a bad thing to do. But some people think that the federal government (联邦政府) should make laws about it, while other people think it should be up to each person or business to decide what to do.Many states and businesses in the United States are not waiting until the federal government decides what to do. They have already started working on the problem.（1）What are the scientists arguing about in the passage?A . How fast is the earth warming?B . How much will the earth warm?C .
