Statements: I. An increase in the Earth's temperature by 6 degrees Fahrenheit can cause widespread plant and animal extinctions. II. Deadly heat waves can cause widespread plant and animal extinctions. III. A rise in sea level can cause the flooding of several of the world's biggest and most populated cities.
