Supporting Argument for Emission Regulations

Medium Justify The Conclusion Guarantee Conclusion

In a recent debate about climate change, environmentalists argued that if we reduce carbon emissions significantly, the average global temperature will stabilize. They concluded that implementing stricter regulations on industrial emissions is crucial. However, some skeptics claimed that even with reduced emissions, natural climate variability will still lead to temperature increases. Therefore, they argue, regulating emissions may not be as vital as the environmentalists suggest.

Which of the following, if true, would most effectively support the environmentalists' conclusion?

Historical data shows that periods of reduced emissions have correlated with stabilization in global temperatures.

Many industries have already adopted cleaner technologies without external regulations.

Climate variability is minimal compared to the rate of human-induced emissions.

Investing in regulations has resulted in economic growth in countries that have adopted them.

Other factors such as deforestation have significantly contributed to recent temperature rises.
