PrepTest 67, Section 3, Question 1
Economist: Prosperity is a driving force behind increases in the release of carbon dioxide, the main cause of global warming. As incomes rise, more people spend money on energy-consuming devices such as cars, thereby producing more carbon dioxide. Also, in countries that experienced deep economic recessions, there were steep drops in carbon dioxide emissions.

Carbon dioxide is the main cause of global warming.
Prosperity is an important cause of increases in the release of carbon dioxide.
