This passage is for the following question. Global warming can seem too remote to worry about, or too uncertain. Warnings about climate change can sound like an environmentalist scare tactic, meant to force us out of our cars and cram our lifestyles. However, as the world from Alaska to the snowy peaks of the Andes is heating up right now and fast, global warming is not just something made up. Globally, the temperature is up to 0,5 C over the past century, but some of the coldest, most remote spot have warmed much more. The results are not pretty. Ice is melting, rivers are running dry, and coasts are eroding, threatening communities. Flora and fauna are feeling the heat, too. These are not projections; they are facts on the ground. The real question is ”How much of the warming is our fault?”. For centuries, we have been clearing forests and burning coal, oil, and gas, pouring carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping gases into the atmosphere faster than plants and oceans can soak them up. The atmosphere’s level of carbon dioxide now is higher than it has been for hundreds of thousands of years. Then, we’re now geological agents, capable of affecting the processes that determine climate. Consequently, we are piling up extra blankets on our planet. Human activity almost certainly drove most of the past century’s warming, a landmark report from the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) declared in 2001. Global temperature are shooting up faster than at any other time in the past thousand years.

Question

This passage is for the following question.

Global warming can seem too remote to worry about, or too uncertain. Warnings about climate change can sound like an environmentalist scare tactic, meant to force us out of our cars and cram our lifestyles.

However, as the world from Alaska to the snowy peaks of the Andes is heating up right now and fast, global warming is not just something made up. Globally, the temperature is up to 0,5 $\textdegree$ C over the past century, but some of the coldest, most remote spot have warmed much more. The results are not pretty. Ice is melting, rivers are running dry, and coasts are eroding, threatening communities. Flora and fauna are feeling the heat, too. These are not projections; they are facts on the ground. The real question is ”How much of the warming is our fault?”.
