Passage Based Questions: Logical Reasoning - 9

Directions: Read the following passage and answer the questions.
The doctors are agreed that saving the planet needs cutting emissions. IPCC assesses that human-induced warning reached approximately 10C above pre-industrial levels in 2017 ,and it is against this backdrop that we must understand the gaol of keeping global temperature increase limited to below 1.50C by 2100. That we are currently on track for a 3.20C to 3.90  rise instead, indicates the scale of present failure and future threat.
Overall greenhouse gas emissions are still rising, nitrous oxide has reached 123% and atmospheric methane 259% of the pre-industrial level. Helped along by how it remains in the atmosphere for centuries, carbon dioxide levels are higher than they have been in 4,00,000 years. The Anthropocene era is already experiencing a very different climate from what our ancestors knew and heading for much worse.
To any alien observer our inability to pull together, to do what the doctors have prescribed, must look like the Suicide Pact of the 7 Billion. It is widely reported that the impact of the warming will fall on the poor and vulnerable, but by no means will they be the only with a severely stressed quality of life.
If that were the case, we would have been talking about a murder pact. Sure, Dhaka is barely 4 metres above sea level with surrounding areas being even more low-lying, so the prospect of a 3.90C rise gives it a sinking feeling. But this will also make a tinderbox out of California and rain the fury of many Hurricane Katrinas on New Orleans and spread the wrath of heatwaves through Australia and Europe. In the 2003 European heatwave Paris recorded an excess death rate of 141%.
There is really nowhere to run no matter how rich you are. It's like when Delhi is in November hell and loose talk about migrating to other cities happens. As Meenakshi Reddy Madhavan writes," Get out of Mumbai, see that you do, the sea is coming for me and you. Get out of Bangalore I'd recommend, before the water comes to an end. Move to Goa? It's pretty dire you might end up dead in a garbage fire...So get out? Why bother? Just choose your tomb."
In disparate movements like Fridays For Future and Extinction Rebellion, it is really no surprise that young people are at the forefront of protesting the current state of affairs. Consider that the children born today will actually live to see the 3.90 nightmare, no matter how rich their country. In this sense Greta Thunberg is absolutely right, young people are bearing the brunt of leaders failures. The adults have signed them onto the suicide pact by proxy.
