The claim that most warrants justification is:
There’s no point in trying to fight climate change as individuals.
This claim is a strong assertion that implies individual actions are futile in the face of climate change and requires support or evidence to substantiate why individual efforts are ineffective compared to government action. The other claims, while they express opinions, do not carry the same weight of needing justification.
