Decreases in pollution

Answer 1

The correct responses for the causes of warming global temperatures are:

- **Burning fossil fuels**: This releases greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, contributing significantly to global warming.

- **Deforestation**: The removal of trees reduces the planet's capacity to absorb carbon dioxide, a major greenhouse gas, and can lead to increased atmospheric CO2 levels.

The other options, such as "Sea level rise," "Recycling plastics," and "Decreases in pollution," do not directly cause warming global temperatures. Sea level rise is a consequence of warming, recycling plastics can help reduce emissions, and decreases in pollution generally contribute positively towards mitigating climate change.
