Why might the author have included this information about Bangladesh?
To show a real example of how rising sea levels could affect many real people.
To convince the reader not to move to Bangladesh.
To make the problem of rising sea levels seem less serious or important

What is the main idea of this text?
The world has experienced changes in climate before, but scientists are worried about the current change in climate.
Gases like carbon dioxide trap heat in the earth's atmosphere, causing the earth to get warmer.

It may cause their fur to get thinner and their camouflage to change colors.
It may cause all of their sources of food to die out, forcing them to search in other places for food.

When we burn fossil fuels, we release carbon dioxide into the air. Carbon dioxide traps heat in Earth's atmosphere, raising the temperature of Earth overall.

What can you conclude based on this information?
If we want to stop Earth's temperature from rising, we have to stop burning fossil fuels.
We can stop Earth's temperature from rising by freezing huge chunks of the ocean.
There is no way for us to stop Earth's temperature from rising so we might as well accept it.
