Consider the following three statements, namely S1, S2 and S3: S1. Protecting the environment is an existential exigency for humans, given the impact of environmental degradation on climate change. S2. Scientific consensus has not been achieved with regard to the extent of the contribution of human intervention to climate change. S3. Environmental activism includes climate alarmism and other extremist points of view that often become the focus of climate change deniers. Which of the following relationships based on the statements given above is/are correct?
- S3 is a counterpoint to S1
- S3 is unconnected to S1 and S2
- S2 could be the reason for S3
Select the answer using the code given below.
Explanation
Option 3 is correct because S2’s assertion about the lack of a scientific consensus on human contributions to climate change can lead to S3, where climate deniers highlight this uncertainty to criticize environmental activism. The other options incorrectly interpret the relationships between the statements.
