An attempt to combat global warming could have the opposite effect, similar to the way that roomier roads have an effect contrary to safety.

The author has analogized two causal relationships, but the reason that these relationships are comparable hasn’t been explicitly stated: in both relationships, something that was meant to have a particular effect actually makes people feel in such a way that they behave in a way that is opposite to the intended effect. That’s the principle that unites the two scenarios and makes for a good analogy.

This matches our prediction. (A) is occurring in both the global warming scenario and in the wide roads scenario.

The author doesn’t speak to whether these problems require a particular type of solution. She is only evaluating the effect that particular solutions have.

Also, we don’t know that these wide, unobstructed roads were a human-created problem.

The author isn’t making a conclusion about how permanent a solution might be.

Also, we don’t know that the wide roads would be considered a technical fix.

It’s not the fact that blocking sun rays is a technical fix that encourages risk-taking, it’s how the solution makes people feel—people would feel safer and then behave in a way that adds to the problem.

Also, we don’t know that the wide roads would be considered a technical fix.

We have no sense of duration with either scenario.
