Answer:

A: double comparison

Explanation:

In the sentence "James is <em>more</em>  smarter than Steven" the problem is the use of the comparative word more because the word smarter is already forming the comparative: adjective smart + er. This is the proper way to show the comparative of <em>short</em> adjectives. For <em>long</em>  adjectives (expensive, beautiful, etc) the comparison is made with more + adjective + than (more expensive, more beautiful).

I feel like the central idea has more to do with how we affect nature. In the story, she states, "While nearly everyone else on the planet was cursing the soggy consequences of El Nino's downpours... " she uses a metaphor, basically that everyone else was complaining over El Nino's downpours while others were in awe.
