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.
Answer
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.
Explanation
The excerpt says that 97 percent of climate experts agree humans are causing climate change, and it connects human greenhouse-gas emissions with the planet warming. This supports the idea that carbon emissions are directly related to climate change. The mention of people who deny the research does not mean scientists as a whole are divided.
