Explanation:

Correct. Climate change can indeed be a significant obstacle to the goal of doubling farmers' income. It affects agriculture through changes in average temperatures, rainfall, and climate extremes (like heat waves); it can also disrupt crop production and increase the likelihood of crop failures.

Correct. According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), if the average global temperature rises by 2°C, coral reefs are at risk of becoming virtually extinct by 2100. This rise in temperature leads to severe bleaching and disrupts the marine ecosystems that corals support.

Correct. The ozone hole, primarily affecting the stratosphere, is not a direct cause of global warming, which is largely driven by greenhouse gases in the lower atmosphere. However, substances that deplete the ozone layer (like CFCs) can also be potent greenhouse gases, contributing indirectly to global warming.

Therefore, all three statements are correct.
