In his presentation, Albert cited leading authorities who found that burning fossil

fuels such as coal, gas, and oil along with disappearing forests (due to clearing, wildfires,
and insect infestation) have dramatically increased the amount of

carbon dioxide in the
Earth's atmosphere. The increase in carbon dioxide, in turn, Albert noted, has resulted in
rising temperatures on the Earth's surface. He then examined the consequences, citing
such sources as the World Health Organization which predicts that deaths from global
warming will double in just 25 years—to 300,000 people a year. Which pattern of
organization has Albert used?
A) Categorical
B) Transitional
C) Chronological
D) Causal
