Which statement is the most logical?

• Methane is a greenhouse gas that is produced in a large part by cow and chicken farms. Cattle and chickens are naturally on the planet. That proves that humans are not really effecting climate and the changes occurring are natural

• This winter was colder than ever. That proves that global warming is not actually occurring

• Global warming just means that we will have higher temperatures all the time and that is a good thing because we can grow more food year round.

• Global warming is occurring because of increased greenhouse gases and if left unchecked will cause global problems like coastal flooding, droughts, increased sea levels, and wildfires due to the higher temperatures.
