Answer 2

Had to look for the options and here is my answer.

Given that the present rate of greenhouse gases in Earth's atmosphere is continuously rising, it has already been predicted by scientists that there could be a rise of 2 degrees celsius in the next 50 to 100 years. Based on the listed ones, all could be the result of global warming except for "an increase in square miles of polar ice covering Earth." Hope this helps.
