Measurements suggest that climate change will reshape the atmosphere, pushing ever higher the boundary between the troposphere--the lower atmosphere where weather occurs--and the stratosphere above it. High, heat-trapping clouds, researchers suspect, will rise along with the rising boundary. As the planet warms from CO₂, it tries to cool itself by losing energy toward space in the form of infrared radiation. If high clouds were to remain at their typical altitude, they would warm in lockstep with the atmosphere, thereby losing an increasing amount of heat to space. Scientist Mark Zelinka and others think, however, that high clouds will rise in order to remain at nearly their current temperature. As a result, they would radiate less of the increasing heat energy to space.

It can be inferred that the reshaping of the atmosphere described in the first sentence would be likely to

(A) moderate the pace of global warming caused by CO₂. (B) increase the total amount of CO2 in Earth's atmosphere. (C) decrease the density of clouds at the boundary between the troposphere and stratosphere. (F) have ltte effct on atmospheric temperatures in the long term. (E) compromise the planet's ability to compensate for warming caused by CO₂.
