Fossil-fuel producers say that it would be prohibitively expensive to reduce levels of carbon dioxide emitted by the use of fossil fuels enough to halt global warming. ████ █████ ██ ████████ ██████ ███████ █████ ████ ███ ████████ ████████ ████ ████ ███████ ██ ██████████ ███████████ ██ ███ ███████████████████ ██████ ██████████ ███ █████ █████ █████ ██ ███████████ ███ ████ ███ ████████ ███ ███████ ██ █████████████ ███████████ ██ ████ ███████████ ███ █████ ██ ███████ ██ █████ ████ ███ ██████████ ████ ██████ ███ ████████ █████████ ██ ████ █████ ██ █ ███████
Summarize Argument
The author concludes that it probably wouldn’t be prohibitively expensive to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuels enough to halt global warming, as fossil-fuel producers claim. This is because the chemical industry had claimed something similar about CFCs, only to eventually replace them with substitutes at a profit once forced to take action.
Notable Assumptions
The author assumes that fossil fuel industries would be able replace fossil fuels with substitutes in the same way the chemical industry replaced CFCs with substitutes, and with a similar financial impact. In other words, the author assumes that the fossil fuel industry is analogous to the chemical industry in the relevant aspects.
