These far-flung (广布的) disasters are【C1】______the question of whether global warming is causing more weather【C2】______. Although in most people’s opinion, these are【C3】______disconnected, the collective answer of the scientific community can be boiled down to a【C4】______word: probably.
"The climate is changing," said Jay Lawrimore, chief of climate analysis at the National Climatic Data Center.
