Observer. He carefully inspects everything he sees.
The statistic in this excerpt supports the idea that humans are not the only one responsible for climate change. There is a counter position about the exclusive responsibility of the human being towards this.
According to the excerpt, no scientific body that is considered serious in their investigations, can accept the responsibility from other factors than the human emissions of greenhouse gases.
A report written in the New York Times statrs that
…<em>”The global, long-term warming trend is “unambiguous,” it says, and there is “no convincing alternative explanation” that anything other than humans — the cars we drive, the power plants we operate, the forests we destroy — are to blame….”
</em>
<em>…”Scientists said the report’s findings were clear.
</em>
<em>“This new report simply confirms what we already knew. Human-caused climate change isn’t just a theory, it’s reality,”…
</em>
This means that, there is not a doubt that humans are the responsible for the global warming and its negative effect over the earth.

The sentence that best corrects the original one is option 3) “Noticing that the patio table had been turned over by the storm, Anton flipped it back on its feet.”
In this option, we make it clear that the doer of the action (flipping back the table) is Anton and in the original sentence is not mentioned.
The first option is incorrect since it says that the storm flipped back the chair instead of Anton.
Option number two is also incorrect since the meaning is not clear, especially the 2nd part of the sentence.
And the last option is also incorrect because it uses the passive voice in both parts of the sentence, when it should be using acting voice in the 2nd part, making emphasis on the doer of the action (Anton) rather than on the action itself.
