The correct answer is A.

The emissions of greenhouse gases, which are mostly generated by the combustion of fossil fuels (oil, coal and gas), used massively on industries throught the world, are the main cause of the global warming.

At the UN General Assembly in 1997, President Clinton aimed to create some degree of awareness about this situation with his speech, as it is a global problem that need to be approched jointly by all nations.
