Now science is warning us that if we do not quickly reduce

the global warming pollution that is trapping so much of

the heat our planet normally radiates back out of the

atmosphere, we are in danger of creating a permanent

"carbon summer."

As the American poet Robert Frost wrote, "Some say the

world will end in fire; some say in ice." Either, he notes,

'would suffice."

But neither need be our fate. It is time to make peace with

the planet.

Which theme is developed by this excerpt?

A. Treat the planet gently with either fire or ice.

B. People have a love-hate relationship with the environment.

C. Global warning signs create peaceful opportunities.

D. Listen to the warning signs to avoid a disaster.
