Making prediction is an important reading comprehension strategy and you need to identify the literary theme in order to do so. The theme is the reason why the author has written the piece; the message the author wants to convey through the story. If you know the theme, you can make prediction about how the story will progress.

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.

Explanation:
In Brueghel's painting, the fall of Icarus is happening in the back; no one is even noticing it. Brueghel's painting shows that how a tragedy may not even be noticed by those who are not directly affected by it.
Auden translates Brueghel's painting a little differently, however. To Auden, the fall of Icarus IS being noticed by the plowman and the sailor; Auden says that they are too busy to deal with the disaster and get on with their work. Auden says that Icarus falling is "not an important failure" to them.
Auden's interpretation of the painting is therefore much more negative than Brueghel's initial work.
