News article in an environmental publication.
July 19 – If current trends continue, fossil fuels will be exhausted by 2052. Industry and transportation and the inability of governments to put stricter emissions regulations in place means that there will be a greater demand for alternative energy sources. Additionally, recent concerns about the high-cost of implementing new systems such as public transportation in industrialized areas has led many voters to actually strike down propositions to subsidize alternative fuel research.

1)No, since it is no where mentioned that there is a conflict among the politicians regarding Global warming and fossil fuel consumption
2)No, since in the table 3 , it is given that the worldwide demand is increasing and few companies are not following proper safety measures,but there is no direct relationship given which can prove the above point
3)No,since Dr Goodman is focusses on per person fossil fuel usage and it's reduction and not on any referendum for oil companies
4)No,since there is no direct relationship given in the tables for the two points mentioned in the question

OFFICIAL EXPLANATION
Question 1.1 Explanation: The answer is No. The statement in question is not necessarily true, as we do not know what politicians “usually’ do, and therefore this is not a valid conclusion just based on the information provided.
Question 1.2 Explanation: The answer is No. In article 3, we are told that “environmental groups have expressed concern that certain oil companies are not following the safest procedures, emphasizing that the companies are more concerned with the speed of extraction than the well-being of the ecosystem.” However, if some oil companies are not following the safest procedures, we cannot infer that safety standards have fallen among oil companies due to the increase in worldwide demand. Perhaps those oil companies are choosing not to follow the safest procedures for other reasons.
Question 1.3 Explanation: The answer is No. In Article 2, Dr. Goodman is shown to have little faith in the public as the solution to the global warming issue, since the public has continually shot down measures it considered “costly.” Dr. Goodman is primarily interested in seeing a reduction in fossil fuel usage. However, we cannot infer based on the information in the article alone that she would also be interested or not interested in requiring oil companies to have better safety and ecological regulations.
Question 2.1 Explanation: The answer is No. We cannot infer any direct links between the actions of the oil companies and the votes cast by the public.
Question 2.2 Explanation: The answer is No. In article 3, we are told that an increase in demand for crude oil “has encouraged many new oil wells to launch in the Gulf of Mexico, and some American environmental groups have expressed concern that certain oil companies are not following the safest procedures, emphasizing that the companies are more concerned with the speed of extraction than the well-being of the ecosystem.” We cannot infer a cause/effect relationship between two things just because they happened at about the same time. At about the same time that demand for crude oil increased, companies began to cut corners. Although it is likely that the two are related, we cannot infer causality based on mere correlation.
Question 2.3 Explanation: The answer is Yes. Article 2 states that politicians are naturally going to avoid stumping for unpopular policies.
Question 3.1 Explanation: The answer is No. The increased demand is implied to have caused the companies to drill more in the Gulf, but there is nothing in the articles to indicate that more supply would mean the companies would have better safety and environmental regulations.
Question 3.2 Explanation: The answer is Yes. The article states that in the past decade, the price rose 500%. There are approximately four decades until 2055, so the price can be expected to increase 4 x 500% = 2000% from where it is now, if current trends continue.
