Carbon monoxide levels in the atmosphere

Carbon monoxide levels in the atmosphere grew by enough
of an increased percentage during the twentieth century that it
began to trap heat radiating from the Earth, and it caused the
average surface temperature to rise.

OA - C. Which i found to be the correct option too.
But i have a doubt

[Levels of atmospheric carbon monoxide] increased
sufficiently [during the twentieth century] to begin
trapping heat radiating from the Earth, causing the average surface

Does this not cause a change of tense. I have such doubts in other SC too. Shouldn't the tense remain same.

How do i identify in such cases , please suggest :?

If you see inherent sense of tshi sentence it says that ... first--- the level of Carbon monoxide increased .. and second -- the efect of the increase--which is still continuiing ...

:) hope that makes sense too

Hi,

Here I am facing meaning issue-
Levels of atmospheric carbon monoxide increased
sufficiently during the twentieth century to begin trapping
heat radiating from the Earth, causing the average surface
temperature to rise. -- subject is levels of atmospheric carbon monoxide, and verb- begin trapping is referring to levels or to carbon monoxide? IMO here it is levels, but shouldn't it be carbon monoxide?
