Question

global warming has been proven to be bad for the environment. many scientists agree that if something is not done soon, earth is going to be in big trouble. as a society, there is a great deal that we need to do to stop this. the speaker has not provided evidence to support a claim. what would be an appropriate follow - up question? how, specifically, is global warming affecting the environment? why should i care about global warming? isnt global warming just a theory, anyway? why do you care about global warming when there are so many other more important issues?

Explanation:

The speaker claims global warming harms the environment but provides no evidence. The appropriate follow-up question should seek specific evidence to support this claim. The first option asks for concrete details on how global warming impacts the environment, which directly targets the lack of evidence. The other options either dismiss the claim, question its validity without seeking evidence, or shift focus to other issues.

Answer:

A. How, specifically, is global warming affecting the environment?
