Question

Read the excerpt from "Climate Change: An Overview." Today, ninety-seven percent of climate experts agree that humans are causing climate change. No scientific body of international or national standing dissents from this view. (A few maintain a non-committal position.) That is not to say that the research is universally accepted. As long as scientists have been positing that human emissions of greenhouse gases are heating up the planet, others have denied their arguments. The statistic in this excerpt supports the idea that :a.carbon emissions and climate change are not related. b.scientists are divided about the impact of carbon emissions. c.scientists and the general public disagree about carbon emissions.d.carbon emissions are directly related to climate change.

The answer is D

Answer 2

Answer:

d. carbon emissions are directly related to climate change.

Explanation:

The statistics shown in the text above can be seen from this sentence "ninety-seven percent of climate experts agree that humans are causing climate change." With this we can conclude that the text wishes to convey the message that carbon emissions are directly related to climate change, since carbon emissions are related to countless human activities that are carried out daily.

Although this statement is not accepted by all scientists in the world, the author of the text offers statistics as a support to support his statement.
