Q6 - Scientist: There is a lot of concern that human behavio

[asafezrati]

Isn't B a premise booster since it is used to bolster the conditional premise?

[maryadkins]

I see why you thought that!

But there's actually a gap here between human behavior and human behavior that is CONTROLLABLE.

Think of all of the human behavior that is involuntary: breathing, for instance. We can't just decide to stop breathing.

(B) gets at this assumption. The core is:

If human behavior is responsible for CC, we can control the future -->

It's an opportunity, not a problem

But what if it's behavior we can't control????

As for the others:

(A) makes no sense. The argument wouldn't be assuming that human-caused CC is BETTER than naturally caused CC

(C) is about the past; he's talking about the future

(D) brings in other species; nope

(E) is the opposite of what he'd think

Hope this helps!
