[逻辑小分队] GWD-6-Q32

Proposal:  Carbon dioxide and methane in the atmosphereblock the escape of heat into space.  Soemission of these “greenhouse” gases contributes to global warming.  In order to reduce global warming, emissionof greenhouse gases needs to be reduced. Therefore, the methane now emitted from open landfills should instead beburned to produce electricity.

Objection:  The burning of methane generates carbondioxide that is released into the atmosphere.

Which ofthe following, if true, most adequately counters the objection made to theproposal?

A.   Every time a human being or other mammalexhales, there is some carbon dioxide released into the air.

B.   The conversion of methane to electricitywould occur at a considerable distance from the landfills.

C.   The methane that is used to generateelectricity would generally be used as a substitute for a fuel that does notproduce any greenhouse gases when burned.

D.   Methane in the atmosphere is more effectivein blocking the escape of heat from the Earth than is carbon dioxide.

E.    The amount of methane emitted from thelandfills could be reduced if the materials whose decomposition producesmethane were not discarded, but recycled.
