You deserve it.

Essay was about the threats of global warming.....it was not based on causes...

[QUOTE=Tabraiz Khan;1062675]Essay was about the threats of global warming.....it was not based on causes...[/QUOTE]

I agree but without giving ample causes one cannot build the grounds for a strong essay. One should give maximum time to threats and solutions but also try to highlight some basic causes that result in the issue.

Secondly, a smart way to address this sort of topic is to provide solutions with respect to causes. As 50% of candidates had chosen this topic so hope for the best.
