译文: 当然, (二氧化碳与大气温度之间的)相互联系 并不能确定 到底是 (大气成分的)变化 引起了 气温的变暖和变冷的趋势还是(大气成分的变化) 就是 气温的冷暖变化 造成的

explain

解释: 本句主句中的谓语establish在GRE、GMAT和LSAT的阅读文章中除了可以作建立的意思以外,还有一个很常用的意思,就是确定、确证的意思,等于determine、prove或confirm。

另外,本句的省略很容易使读者将指代关系搞混:在最后的or were caused by them当中,or之后省略了与whether一句中相同的主语 changes (in atmospheric composition) ;最后的them指代的是warming and cooling trends。
