The claim that most warrants justification is:

There’s no point in trying to fight climate change as individuals.

This assertion is a strong statement that dismisses individual efforts and requires more explanation and support. The other claims, while they may also benefit from further discussion, do not carry the same level of absoluteness or implication that requires justification.
