OFFICIAL EXPLANATION
The correct answers are A and F.
Answer Blank (i): When you consider the two blanks, it becomes apparent that choice A, "urgent," meaning "requiring immediate action," fits the sense of the sentence, which is about differences in opinion, not the need for action. Choice B, "irrefutable," which means "impossible to disprove, unassailable," doesn't fit the sense. Climate change may or may not be "uncontrollable," but that's not the point of the sentence.
Answer Blank (ii): Choice F, "adamant," meaning "firm, stubbornly unyielding, not open to reason or persuasion," fits the sense. Choice D, "implacable," means "not capable of pleasing, unforgiving" and doesn't fit the sense. "Inflexible," choice E, is a synonym of "implacable," and therefore can be eliminated.
