A student argues in a community forum post that the town should ban gas-powered leaf blowers. The paragraph's claim is: "Leaf blower bans protect public health by reducing harmful air pollution." The evidence says: "California's air resources agency estimates that operating a commercial gas leaf blower for one hour produces smog-forming emissions comparable to driving a modern passenger car over 1,000 miles." The commentary is weak: "This means leaf blowers make a lot of emissions."
Which revision of the bolded commentary would best explain the significance of the evidence?
