A paper published in Nature Climate Change indicated that the effects of climate change across a broad spectrum of problems, including heat waves, wildfires, sea level rise, hurricanes, flooding, drought and shortages of clean water. Such problems are already coming in combination. Florida, for example, had recently experienced extreme drought, record high temperatures and wildfires — and Hurricane Michael, the powerful Category 4 storm that slammed into the Panhandle this summer. Similarly, California is suffering through the worst wildfires the state has ever seen, as well as drought, extreme heat waves and degraded air quality that threatens the health of residents. In 2017, US withdrew from Paris Agreement. Despite the White House's later assessment showing climate change could significantly reduce GDP by 10% by 2100, President Trump remains incredulous about global warming. The UN unveiled its own report that says signatories to the Paris Agreement are doing nowhere near enough to meet the target of keeping warming below 2°C relative to pre-industrial times. Other reports also warned that carbon dioxide in the atmosphere had reached 405 parts per million, the highest in three million to five million years.

請試著觀察文中列舉的種種現象：頻發的林火、破紀錄的高溫、失效的國際協定，以及持續攀升的二氧化碳濃度。當一位作者彙整了這麼多關於「未來威脅」的證據，卻又提到現有的解決方案（如巴黎協定）進度落後時，他最想讓讀者感受到的，是對未來發展抱持著什麼樣的心理預期？這種對未知負面結果的擔憂，通常會用哪種情緒詞彙來形容呢？

氣候危機與作者的憂患意識
這篇文章並非只是平鋪直敘地陳列科學事實，而是透過描繪佛羅里達州的颶風、加州的林火，以及二氧化碳濃度創下數百萬年新高等嚴峻數據，營造出一種「對未來深感不安」的氛圍。當作者提到美國退出巴黎協定、全球暖化目標難以達成，並引用報告指出 GDP 將因環境惡化而大幅縮減時，字裡行間流露出的並不是受驚嚇（intimidated）或憤怒，而是一種對即將到來的災難感到憂慮且擔心（apprehensive）的客觀焦慮。你選擇 (B) 正確反映了這種對未來局勢發展感到忐忑的心情。
