Millions of acres of spruce trees have been killed due to an explosive increase in spruce bark beetles in recent years, and scientists suggest global warming as the underlining cause. How could this be related to global warming? A. Longer, warmer seasons have resulted in increased beetle populations. B. Spruce is more susceptible to beetles at high temperatures. C. Global warming is the cause of acid rain, and the trees are being weakened. D. Spruce bark beetles did not attack spruce trees until the Industrial Revolution.
