Today's Practice GMAT Question:
|
Environmental activists in Santilia are calling for a stop to deforestation, pointing out that deforestation in the tropics is responsible for 18% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Deforestation accounts for half of Santilia's greenhouse gas emissions. However, government officials counter that Santilia contributes to less than 1% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Which of the following, if true, most helps to explain the discrepancy between the claims of environmental activists and government officials in Santilia? |
|
| (A) | Compared to other tropical countries, emissions in Santilia have less of an impact on the global climate. |
| (B) | Many factories that emitted industrial pollutants have recently relocated from Santilia to neighboring countries. |
| (C) | Activists in Santilia have begun re-planting forests covering approximately 10 percent of land once covered by rainforest in the country. |
| (D) | Santilia is one of the smallest nations in the tropics, and a substantial percentage of its territory was once covered by rainforest. |
| (E) | Activists in Santilia have much more political influence in their country than do activists in other tropical countries. |
