Read the excerpt from Greta Thunberg’s speech at the United Nations Climate Action Summit. So a 50 percent risk is simply not acceptable to us—we who have to live with the consequences. To have a 67 percent chance of staying below a 1 point 5 degrees global temperature rise—the best odds given by the [Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change]—the world had 420 gigatons of CO 2 left to emit back on January 1, 2018. Today that figure is already down to less than 350 gigatons. How dare you pretend that this can be solved with just "business as usual” and some technical solutions? With today’s emissions levels, that remaining CO 2 budget will be entirely gone within less than 8 and 1 half years. How does Thunberg use reasoning in this excerpt?
Answer
A
She moves from a general premise about CO 2 usage to a specific prediction about emissions.
B
She moves from a specific pattern in global temperature rise to a generalization about emissions.
C
She moves from a general premise about climate risks to a generalization about solutions.
D
She moves from a specific observation about the climate to a general conclusion about CO 2 .
