Multistructural

Kakala, you have many great ideas which are needed for a multistructural level, however if you want to get to relational you need to explain your ideas further and give clear explanations. Some of your reasons are similar and you have mentioned some causes in the effects boxes. You are on the right track with your conclusion but it needs to be a little more specific about the relationship between the causes of climate change and effects it is having to show a clear understanding of the overall topic.
