Question

why is it so surprising that tropical glaciers in high mountains near the equator have also been found to be melting, something that hasn’t happened for thousands of years?
it’s surprising that there are high mountains near the equator
it’s surprising that glaciers are melting
it’s surprising because the temperature at high altitude near the equator is very stable and doesn’t fluctuate much between summer and winter.

co2 is considered the most important greenhouse gas because:
co2 is the only greenhouse gas that has significant effect on the greenhouse effect
co2 is not considered the most important greenhouse gas
co2 is emitted in far larger quantities than other greenhouse gases
co2 is not a naturally - occurring gas and thus more dangerous
co2 is the most abundant gases in the atmosphere

Explanation:

For the first question, near - the - equator high - altitude temperatures are usually stable, so glacier melting is unexpected. For the second question, CO2 is considered most important among greenhouse gases mainly because it is emitted in much larger quantities than others.

Answer:

It's surprising because the temperature at high altitude near the equator is very stable and doesn't fluctuate much between summer and winter.
CO2 is emitted in far larger quantities than other greenhouse gases
