I chose carbon dioxide increasing as my sufficient condition because it was proceeded by if is that correct?

That is correct. I will breakdown the stimulus here as well.

"The chances that tropical storm will develop in a given area increase whenever the temperature of a large body of water in that area exceeds 26 degrees Celsius to a depth of about 60 meters."

>26DC60m ===> CTSI
not CTSI ===> not >26DC60m

"If the amount of carbon dioxide in the Earth's atmosphere continues to increase, the temperature of all of the Earth's waters will rise, with the result that the number of large bodies of water whose temperatures exceed 26 degrees Celsius to a depth of about 60 meters will eventually be greater than it is today."

CDI ===> TEWR ===> >26DC60m

not >26DC60m ===> not TEWR ===> not CDI

We can combine these statements as follows:

CDI ===> TEWR ===> >26DC60m ===> CTSI

As such, we can conclude that there are more likely to be tropical storms if the amount of carbon dioxide in the Earth's atmosphere continues to increase.

Hope this helps! Please let us know if you have any other questions.
