Solution

The best answer would be f. a, b and c only.

a. Anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions enhance the natural greenhouse effect. This means that they increase the amount of heat trapped in the Earth's atmosphere, leading to global warming.

b. The speed at which we emit these gases is too rapid for the climate system to absorb them into other sinks. This means that the gases accumulate in the atmosphere, further enhancing the greenhouse effect.

c. It may take centuries for the carbon cycle to reach a new stable equilibrium. This means that even if we stop emitting greenhouse gases today
