First sentence: Why this is the first line? This paragraph is the first sentence because it introduces the main topic of climate change. It clearly states that climate change is a global issue caused by human actions. This follows the rule of Topic Sentence. Why other lines are not chosen? Paragraph 2 starts with "Many factors" which is not independent because it refers to factors without introducing the topic first. Paragraph 3 starts with "To mitigate" which is not independent because it assumes prior knowledge of climate change. Paragraph 4 starts with "The consequences" which is not independent because it uses the definite article "the" and assumes prior context.

Concluding sentence: Why this is the last line? This paragraph is the last sentence because it summarizes the effects of climate change. It wraps up the discussion by showing the serious results of climate change, following the Summary Style rule.
