Increased nitrous oxide and methane from fertilizers and manure in agriculture

Answer 1

The option that is NOT the most likely human activity causing global climate change is:

Increased ocean clean-up to improve carbon dioxide absorption

While ocean clean-up can have positive environmental impacts, it is not a major contributor to global climate change. In contrast, the other activities listed (burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and increased nitrous oxide and methane emissions) are directly linked to the increase in greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and the warming of the planet.
