Chick On Climate Change Summary

450 Words2 Pages

For the my articles or columns used, the shared topic was climate change and whether any actions will be taken accordingly. After reading and evaluating all the information, I have concluded that the article “Republicans Try a New Tack on Climate Change” (The New York Times) by Justin Gillis, presents a clear and well rounded argument that emphases on climate change, its effects on the environment and humanity as well as solutions to the issue. In the article, the writer presents most of their evidence in a logical and scientific way by having them be addressed by an expert: ‘“.. All those things have been ruled out,” said Drew Shindell, an atmospheric scientist at Duke University.” Unlike in the other articles, there is no expertise or claim …show more content…

But we have satellites keeping a close eye on the sun, and it has not changed nearly enough to be the culprit.” The strategy he goes with is taking the other side and immediately denies it with facts that benefits his point more than the opposing one. Although, Cynthia Tucker’s “Climate Change Looms More Terrifying Than Any Fiction” uses a bunch of stellar evidence, like “A 10-year-old boy visiting from Missouri with his family was killed in a freak accident on an Alabama beach in June when he was struck by a log that had been thrown ashore by a storm surge.” There seems to be a lack of counter arguments that could’ve boosted her evidence even more and propel her work to greatness. For these reasons, I believe that the article, “Republicans Try a New Tack on Climate Change” by Justin Gillis was the most compelling article on climate

    1346 Words  | 6 Pages

    The article created of which is supported by Nasa, tries to make it clear to the general audience that the issue of climate change is real. Nasa being rated to be factual high on the biased scale can be trusted as it favors no political side, making their articles based on scientific evidence. The article opens up stating “Most climate scientists agree the main cause of the current global warming trend is human expansion of the "greenhouse effect” A strongpoint of which this article has would be its ability to inform the average viewer about the issue of climate change. Due to this article being supported by Nasa, a pro-science website, this source can be trusted as this article would be backed up by the scientific theory. Comparing to the article created by CNN which backs the creation of “synthetic trees”; Nasa’s article would be meant to inform the reader, however, due to CNN’s political biased towards the liberals, the average viewer may see the article only favor the political view due to the biased.

From my perspective, the severity of climate change indeed can affect the decisions of policy-makers, such as green policy and governance. But it does not mean that people can just ignore the consequences of the enormous emission of greenhouse gases in the past few decades. First of all, countries in Latin America and Africa tend to concern more about climate change issue than other regions.

    Stoda, (2012), “Aruged cases constructed from “head” rationality that are loaded with forms of scientific evidence can effectively target solvency issues (p. 170). Throughout Al Gore’s appeal, he used graphic slides that showed, statistics and data collected for various places, even the television company Current TV, that Mr. Gore has shares in, did a world wide contest for commercials on how to bring across urgency in the viewers. I do have to ad Current TV did this contest Pro-Bono, which Al Gore mentioned, this statement gives the perception of the backing of another big company, lending more credibility to the solvency argument. In my opinion Al Gore did a good job of pitching his agenda, and trying to create an attitude change in people. Most people’s aptitude toward global warming is low and Al Gores credibility as I stated above is high, ethos and pathos might than trigger mindless psychological reactions in persuaders.
