Inference
Carbon Pricing by Clark Merrefield
Carbon pricing schemes put a financial price on carbon emission. They are widely portrayed in economic literature as an effective way to reduce carbon emissions from high-carbon emitting industries, such as certain types of energy production. Academics and politicians often frame carbon pricing not as a cure-all, but rather as one part of a broader strategy to slow or reverse rising global temperatures.
This question has two parts. First, answer Part A. Then, answer Part B.
Part A: The reader can infer that -
A carbon pricing is working
a new solution is needed

Part A: The reader can infer that a new solution is needed.
Part B: The detail that supports the answer in Part A is "Academics and politicians often frame carbon pricing not as a cure-all, but rather as one part of a broader strategy to slow or reverse rising global temperatures." This suggests that carbon pricing alone may not be enough to effectively address the issue of rising global temperatures, indicating that a new solution may be needed.
