This statement compares the warming of the Earth's atmosphere to the [warming] that carbon dioxide will. Logical I think the statement compares the "Tiny quantities of more than thirty rare gases" with "carbon dioxide".

In this context, threaten to do something, not threaten warming... C,D,E is out... B/W A and B, B is logical ... and meaningful
