Question 7 • NY-US History and Government Term 2 Hillcrest

Why is the idea of climate change controversial?

Answer
A
Global temperatures have been steadily falling.
B
There are virtually no scientists worldwide who believe in its existence.
C
Not everyone agrees on its causes or its possible solutions.
D
Clean power has almost completely replaced the use of fossil fuels in the United States.

Explanation

Climate change is supported by extensive scientific evidence, but people debate what contributes to it and which policies or actions are the best responses. Choice C captures that disagreement about causes and possible solutions. The other choices make unsupported claims: global temperatures have not been steadily falling, many scientists recognize climate change, and fossil fuels have not been almost completely replaced in the United States.
