Could you help find the opposite of "doubt" in the text?
|
Hi colleague, I went through the text and couldn �t find the oppsite of doubt, Will you help please? By the way , I downloaded this text from this site a few months ago. More and more people
all over the world realize that global warming is a real and a serious problem.
Almost everyone agrees that the Earth �s climate has begun to change, as
reported by scientists and experts in newspapers, TV programs, and magazines.
The summers are hotter. The winters are warmer. As a result, glaciers have
become smaller. If this continues, there could be water shortages in the future
in Europe and the Americas. In addition, scientists believe deserts will grow
much larger in some parts of the world, which means areas of Africa, China, and
the Middle East will have little or no water to grow food. Storms will become
worse, too. Although we have not seen many big changes yet, our children and our
children �s children could live in a very different world. They
could face many problems in the future. Governments around the world have taken
action to fight pollution and global warming. Unfortunately, they need to do
more. In addition, big countries like the US, China, and Russia continue to
pollute heavily. All governments must take action with new laws to protect the
environment. They must research and develop new technologies,
such as wind and solar power. They must pollute less and reuse resources.
Individuals have to take action now, as well.

Good day! I �d personally choose the verb "believe" from the line "In addition, scientists believe deserts will grow..." No other words from the paragraph seem to be antonyms for "doubt". Nik |

I completely agree with Nik : BELIEVE sounds to be the good choice. |
