Climatologist: The waters off the Pacific coast of North America have warmed about 4 degrees over the past 15 years. ████ ██████████ █████ ████ ████ █████ ██ █ ███████ ██ █ ████ ████████ ██████ ███████ ██████ ██ ███████████████ ███ ██████████ ████████ ████ ██████████ ██ ███ ████ ██████████████ ██ █████ ████ █████ ███ ████ ███████ ██████ ██ █████ ███████████ ███████ ████ ████ ██ █████ ██ █████
Summarize Argument: Counter-Position
Some scientists think that warming off the Pacific Coast of North America is due to global warming from human-generated air pollution. The author concludes that this belief is not supported. This is because there are many natural (non-human-generated) cycles of ocean temperature changes. The author is suggesting that because the warming might be explained by these natural cycles, we cannot conclude that it is due to global warming from human-generated air pollution.
Identify Conclusion
The conclusion is the author’s assessment of the lack of support for the view that the warming off the Pacific coast is due to global warming from human-generated air pollution: “[T]his conclusion is far from justified.”
