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
carbon emissions and climate change are not
related
scientists are divided about the impact of carbon
emissions
scientists and the general public disagree about
carbon emissions
carbon emissions are directly related to climate
change

Explanation:

The statistic states that 97% of climate experts agree humans are causing climate change. This high - percentage agreement among experts implies a strong connection. The first option is wrong as the statistic shows a relation. The second option is incorrect because 97% agreement means scientists are not divided. The third option is not supported as the text is about scientists' views, not comparison with the general public.

Answer:

carbon emissions are directly related to climate change
