a.
Convection currents do cause warm lighter air to rise.
A more accurate answer to the high altitude statement would be radiation from the earth's surface.
With reference to the greenhouse effect, extra CO2 in the atmosphere absorbs this energy and re radiates it back to the earth. If this continues we experience global warming.

a. If the icecaps melt, the convection currents will break down, creating another ice age.
