it is correct + explanation


Explanation:
I do not see what puzzles you about this construction, anyway, here is my explanation.

Anthropic activity = subject

has provoked = verb

global temperature rises, = object

causing = verb (gerund for consequence/cause = and consequently it has caused)

effects on ocean temperatures / ice and snow coverage / cooling of the lower stratosphere = objects
