D. Victorian era
The Victorian era was seen as a thrilling sort of terror and was also the time of the romantic period.
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.
A. Character versus nature
Explanation:
Interest groups or pressure groups are composed of organizations or associations of people organized in a formal way, whose central objective is to influence the development of public policies for the benefit of their own interests and causes, through the use of lobbying.
The use of celebrity spokespersons is a common practice of gaining influence, which can be an effective practice if the personality and values of the celebrity in question are compatible with the policies they wish to gain influence from, as a celebrity has the advantage of having popular support for influence.
