Which of the following theories concerning global climate change is the most widely accepted?
a.
changes in the global climate will lead to an increase in extreme weather and flooding.
b.
global climate is changing due to burning of fossil fuels and deforestation.
c.
global climate change will happen rapidly.
d.
extra carbon dioxide and global warming will be beneficial.

Correct B). Global climate is changing due to burning of fossil fuels and deforestation.

Forest holds a large amount of carbon, plants are known to absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere as they grow, that carbon dioxide is stored in plants in the form of carbon in plant's roots, leaves and in the soil. When trees are cut down, that stored carbon is released in the environment in the form of carbon dioxide, which accounts for approximately 18% of global greenhouse gas emission.

The burning of fossil fuel like coal, petroleum, oil, gas for the energy purpose is one of the major contributors for the rising level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, which leads to global warming and affect the climate.

Hence, the correct answer would be option B.

you didn't give any options but heres what i can tell you: an inference is likely to change based on additional observations. the latter is something that you have seen or sensed using your sensory organs while the former is like a conclusion out from what you have observed.
