Selected Answer: A
For example, the warming over the past century (approximately 1°C in about a century) is around 16 times faster than the average rate of warming coming out of the last ice age (roughly 6°C in 10,000 years corresponds to an average warming of 0.06°C/ century).

The answers are poorly phrased. None of them is correct. On fig. 1.3b p. 6 of the curriculum we can see that the temperature changes periodically and the change between min and max can be up to 10 degrees. They would need to specify a reference point for the temperature change.

D is the correct answer, the book's emphasis is comparing pre & post industrial period, not the ice age.

Selected Answer: D
A is incorrect as there is no concept of natural warming in my opinion. Nor we have discussed natural warming in the scr book. option D seems to be correct that human activities is causing more changes to temperature than natural temp changes.

D is correct. The key is in the statement 'since ice age'. Human related warming is proven to be only since 20th century.
