In the passage, the author recommends investing in Consolidated Industries, because of the prediction of increasing demand for heating oil. To support his/her claim, the author cites the extremely cold weather in recent years together with local weather forecasts. Furthermore, he/she also uses a series of evidence to demonstrate a drastic increase of home building in this area. Quite convincing though such recommendation appears at first glance, a closer scrutiny reveals that the conclusion lacks crucial supports and therefore we should consider more evidence to help evaluate such recommendation. To start off, we need more evidence to verify if the harsh climate condition will continue as the author's prediction. While the author shows local weather forecasters' prediction for the continual cold winter climate, no evidence serves to rule out the probability that such prophecy mayn't occur, considering unpredicability of the Earth's climatic system. Thus, extra evidence gains great significance to determine whether this area will be continually dominated by such extreme weather during the winter. If new evidence shows that such harsh weather is just a sort of temporal phenomenon, it is safe to claim that fuel demand for heating is unlikely to increase and his/her reasoning will be weakened. On the contrary, if new information discloses the opposite situation, his/her viewpoint will be lent more support to. Furthermore, we also require additional evidence to ascertain whether new building houses will bring about increase of oil heating demand. First of all, while local residents may stay in their new house and go through the whole winter, we still need to check with new evidence about whether they would migrate to other places to escape from the inclement weather. If a great number of people would like to move to warmer places instead of keeping at their new house, the soaring demand of oil fuel is in great doubt and his/her reasoning will be rendered much less advisable. Second, we need to decide whether people would still stick to traditional oil heating and blindly ignore other new and more economic ways of house heating. If they will resort to solar heating which effectively avoid oil consumption, we are unconvinced that oil heating demand will increase accompanying with the construction of new houses. Last but not least, despite the presence of all previous evidence, a more accurate evaluation of the author's recommendation requires further information. Specific evidence is required to evaluate whether Consodilated Industries could fully seize on such increasing requirements of oil fuel and make great profit out of it; that is to say, whether such company is running on a good track for its business so that investors could gain their expected financial benefits in the future. If the answer is positive, his/her recommendation will be strengthened. Otherwise, if the management team of this company is highly incompetent and even have severe corruption issues, or their employees don't have sufficient passion to make contribution to its development, we are reluctant to believe that investors can grasp with their expected profits. In summary, the evidence cited by the author in the argument could not provide sufficiently conclusive information to make his/her argument compelling. As a result, we need more evidence to better evaluate such argument.
In the passage, the
author
recommends investing in Consolidated Industries,
because
of the prediction of increasing
demand
for
heating
oil
. To support
his/her
claim, the
author
cites the
extremely
cold
weather
in recent years together with local
weather
forecasts.
Furthermore
, he/she
also
uses
a series of
evidence
to demonstrate a drastic
increase
of home building in this area. Quite convincing though such recommendation appears at
first
glance, a closer scrutiny reveals that the conclusion lacks crucial supports and
therefore
we should consider more
evidence
to
help
evaluate such recommendation.

To
start
off, we
need
more
evidence
to verify if the harsh climate condition will continue as the author's prediction. While the
author
shows
local
weather
forecasters' prediction for the continual
cold
winter climate, no
evidence
serves to
rule
out the probability that such prophecy mayn't occur, considering
unpredicability
of the Earth's climatic system.
Thus
, extra
evidence
gains
great
significance to determine whether this area will be
continually
dominated by such extreme
weather
during the winter. If
new
evidence
shows
that such harsh
weather
is
just
a sort of temporal phenomenon, it is safe to claim that fuel
demand
for
heating
is unlikely to
increase
and
his/her
reasoning will
be weakened
.
On the contrary
, if
new
information discloses the opposite situation,
his/her
viewpoint will
be lent
more support to.

Furthermore
, we
also
require additional
evidence
to ascertain whether
new
building
houses
will bring about
increase
of
oil
heating
demand
.
First of all
, while local residents may stay in their
new
house
and go through the whole winter, we
still
need
to
check
with
new
evidence
about whether they would migrate to other places to escape from the inclement
weather
. If a
great
number of
people
would like to
move
to warmer places
instead
of keeping at their
new
house
, the soaring
demand
of
oil
fuel is in
great
doubt and
his/her
reasoning will
be rendered
much less advisable. Second, we
need
to decide whether
people
would
still
stick to traditional
oil
heating
and
blindly
ignore
other
new
and more economic ways of
house
heating
. If they
will resort
to solar
heating
which
effectively
avoid
oil
consumption, we
are unconvinced
that
oil
heating
demand
will
increase
accompanying with
the construction of
new
houses
.

Last
but
not least, despite the presence of all previous
evidence
, a more accurate evaluation of the author's recommendation requires
further
information. Specific
evidence
is required
to evaluate whether
Consodilated
Industries could
fully
seize on such increasing requirements of
oil
fuel and
make
great
profit out of it;
that is
to say, whether such
company
is running on a
good
track
for its business
so
that investors could gain their
expected
financial benefits in the future. If the answer is
positive
,
his/her
recommendation will
be strengthened
.
Otherwise
, if the management team of this
company
is
highly
incompetent and even have severe corruption issues, or their employees don't have sufficient passion to
make
contribution to its development, we are reluctant to believe that investors can grasp with their
expected
profits.

In summary, the
evidence
cited by the
author
in the argument could not provide
sufficiently
conclusive information to
make
his/her
argument compelling.
As a result
, we
need
more
evidence
to better evaluate such argument.
