The paragraph contends that global warming results in rising sea levels and increased water vapor in the atmosphere, leading to more intense and damaging storms and hurricanes. Option (1) contradicts the established understanding by asserting that global warming and severe storms are unrelated. Option (2) delves into the drawbacks of the Clausius-Clapeyron equation, which the paragraph does not address. Option (4) is verbose and introduces uncertainty with the phrase 'but this may not be true of all storms'. In contrast, option (3) accurately captures the essence of the paragraph.
