Identifying Fallacies in Arguments

In a recent debate, two candidates expressed their views on environmental regulation. Candidate A argued that stricter environmental laws would stifle economic growth, stating, 'If we impose these regulations, our economy will suffer, leading to job losses and greater poverty.' Candidate B countered with, 'If we ignore the environmental crisis, future generations will suffer, which is worse for all of us.' While discussing these points, Candidate A accused Candidate B of being inconsistent, saying, 'You cannot claim to care for the future if you are willing to sacrifice current jobs.'

Which of the following logical fallacies does Candidate A commit in their argument?
