My research seeks to understand the historical and future impacts of climate change on the economy -and particularly on agriculture. Anthropogenic climate change has already impacted agriculture. In 2021 my colleagues and I conducted a global study examining the impacts of climate change on agriculture productivity. This encompassed crops, speciality crops, tree crops, live stock, etc. -about 99.9% of the global agriculture production was captured in this study which had country-level data of productivity since the 1960s. we found that when a country experienced warming conditions or raised temperatures, it tended to experience lower agricultural productivity to produce the same outputs, you would need more inputs. The inputs you’d be investing currently would be less productive in warmer years.
We then took our study into a parallel world without anthropogenic climate change where weather conditions were not impacted by humans activity leading to greenhouse gases accumulating in the atmosphere. Such a world would have been considerably cooler than the one we are in. Studying both side these worlds since 1960,we found agricultural productivity would have grown faster in the world without anthropogenic climate change.Human caused climate change is slowing down the growth of agricultural productivity and the magnitude of this is not small --over the last 60 years of growth in agricultural productivity.
The passage given below is followed by four summaries, choose the option that best captures the author’s position.

3.“As soon as a literary work is taken up for a firm adaptation, it becomes the director’s perspective.
4.Earlier this year Ravi G. started a musical series on Instagram titled Homejam, in which he presented covers of many underrated 90s tamil film songs.
5.One of those -- a cover of ‘porkalam’ from Tenali-attracted the attention of many, most notably music composer Anirudh who commented:’Thank you for this From Ravi G fan club president.’

At the doors of large granaries are placed traps containing fried rice (Moori) to catch mice. The mice, attracted by the favour of the fried rice, forget the more solid pleasures of tasting the rice inside the granary,and fall into the trap. They are caught there in and killed. Just so is the case with the soul. It stands on the threshold of Divine bliss, which is like millions of the highest worldly pleasures solidified into one; but instead of striving for that bliss, it allows itself to be enticed by the petty pleasures of the world and falls into the trap of Maya, the great illusion, and dies therein.

A true devotee who has drunk deep of Divine love is like a veritable drunkard, and as such cannot always observe the rules of propriety.
Once Krishna Kishore asked me, ‘When this change came over me, everything was blown away, as if by the great cyclone of Ashvin The old landmarks were swept away. There was no outward consciousness itself. What to speak, then, of taking care of either the holy thread? Or even of the piece of cloth I used to wear? Lost in intense God-consciousness, I could not even know that I was nude for the greater part of the day. Therefore when Krishna Kishore took me to ask for having parted with the sacred thread, I only observed, ‘you will see it all clearly if you are once seized with madness for the lord.’

The master once said to Keshab Chandra Sen while the latter was ill, ‘You are suffering; but your illness has deep meaning. In this body you have gone through various stages of spiritual developments; the body is now suffering from the reaction. When the spiritual waves arise, the consciousness of the body vanishes, but it tells upon the body in the end. When a big steamer plies on the Ganges, the waves dash against the shore for sometime after the steamer has passed. The larger the boat, the bigger the waves; and sometimes they even break down the blanks. If an elephant enters a small hut, the hut shakes and falls down. So also the experience of spiritual ecstasy shakes and sometimes shatters the body of devotee. Do you know the consequence of this? If a house catches fire, many things are burnt. Similarly, the fire of Divine wisdom burns all passion, anger and other evils, and in the end destroys the consciousness of “I, me and mine”. The body then suffers a severe shock and is shattered. You may think that everything is finished, but as long as there is the least vestige of the ego, He will not make free. If you are admitted as a patient in a hospital you will not be discharged unless you are perfectly cured.
You are suffering but your illness has deep meaning.” what does the author want to say through this line?
