PLEASE HELP ME!!!!

Climate refugees have migrated into areas already inhabited by people with different cultures, religions, and traditions, increasing the potential for conflict. Stronger storms in the Pacific and Atlantic have threatened whole cities. Millions have been displaced by massive flooding in South Asia, Mexico, and 18 countries in Africa. As temperature extremes have increased, tens of thousands have lost their lives. We are recklessly burning and clearing our forests and driving more and more species into extinction. The very web of life on which we depend is being ripped and frayed.

The correct answer is B: Gore supports his argument that climate change is happening by describing the damage it has already done. The information provided by Gore to support his argument is factual, he mentions situations that have already happened due to climate change such as the stronger storms in the Pacific and the Atlantic or the massive flooding in South Asia. These damaging events are not imaginary, and they support the occurrence of climate change.
