Hi Teachers,
I have some problems to understand this sentence.
"Because of the negative effects that global climate changes threatens to cause, finding ways to reduce CO2 levels has become very important in both the scientific and policy worlds."
1) "to cause" seems to be needed an object. ???
2) I have to read over this sentence more than twice to really understand what it means. If I change the sentence to be; "Finding ways to reduce CO2 levels has become very important in both the scientific and policy worlds because global climate changes threatens to cause the negative effects", is it easier to understand and does it give the same meaning?
Thank you for your advice
