PrepTest 129 - Section 1 - Question 20

Show summary

Industrial engineer: Some people have suggested that the problem of global warming should be addressed by pumping some of the carbon dioxide produced by the burning of fossil fuels into the deep ocean. ████ █████████████████ █████ ████ ████ ████████ █████ ██████ ████████ ███ ████ ██ █████████ ███ ██ ███████ ███████████ █████ ████ █████ ██ ██████████ ████████ ████ ██ ███ ██████ ███████ ███ ████████ ████ ███ ██████████ ██████████ ████ ██ ██ ███ █████ ███████ █████ ██ ████ ███ █████ █████████████ ████████████ ██ ███████████ ██ ██████ ████████

Summarize Argument: Counter-Position

The industrial engineer claims that environmentalists’ worry that pumping carbon dioxide from burning fossil fuels deep into the ocean would cause an equally destructive form of pollution is unfounded. This is because lots of carbon dioxide released already ends up in the ocean, and the consequences are less destructive than global warming. Because it is less destructive, it is not an equally destructive form of pollution.

Identify Conclusion

The conclusion is the industrial engineer’s response to the concerns about equally destructive pollution: “This worry is unfounded”
