Carsen · Answer 1

So, there is a consensus that the increase in carbon dioxide will not be beneficial - we reject answer d)

The biggest consensus is that b. Global climate is changing due to burning of fossil fuels and deforestation, but there is almost as big agreement that global warming will lead to catastrophic weather anomalies - so actually answer a) is also correct.

Natalee Rivera · Answer 2

I believe the answer is: B. Global climate is changing due to burning of fossil fuels and deforestation.

The Burning fossil foils created a pollution that can trap the sun heat from the sun from leaving the earth, which increase earth's average temperature. This phenomenon could be increased by trees because they absorb CO2 for their photosynthesis, so deforestation make this process become worse.
