Misconstrued Time in Ferdi Riskiyanto´s Advertisment

Gore than makes it even more clear by interacting numbers into his animation. He says if there was an increase of 5F then there would be an at least 1F change at the equator and at least a 12F increase at the poled. This allows the audience to have an easier time viewing material and visualizing what actually is happening. Another example of logos in this film is the use of statistics and numbers especially when Al Gore starts talking about the flooding in Mumbai, India in 2006. He goes into details abut how they had 27 inches of rain in 24 hours and that the death toll reach 1,000. This really allows the audience to think about the consequences of global warming and how stronger storms can be caused by an increase in global warming.

As civilization advances, most of the people in society are uplifted by the development made. In a thousand years, we went from an agricultural society to an industrial one, and we are rapidly entering the digital age. But inevitably, there are people whom civilization has abandoned and exploited in order to advance this far. In his poem, “Halloween in the Anthropocene, 2015”, Craig Santos Perez dispels the preconceptions we hold about our society and reveals the horrors that we have either suppressed or neglected. He uses the Halloween scene to reveal how we have taken the atrocities that mankind has afflicted and relinquished. Through figurative language, imagery, and repetition, Perez parallels children wearing costumes of past figures to tragic figures from both the past and present in “Halloween in the Anthropocene, 2015” to bring to light the disastrous effects of the environment that we have created through our own greed and desire for advancement.

Ehrlich says, “The retreat and disappearance of glaciers-means we’re burning libraries and damaging the planet…” (89). The author includes this deep thought burning quote to the reader to explain that there is a problem with the loss of all this environmental information these ice masses hold. Ehrlich makes this inference to repulse and further engage the reader into this natural disaster. Then follows step by step the effects melted glaciers would have upon the Earth. She starts with the Albedo effect, continues to the loss of ice and snow, and finishes with, “our sources of fresh water will disappear” (90). This addresses the effects aspect, but also appeals to audience, due to the fact that humans cannot live without freshwater. The author uses the human items of an air conditioner and sponge to dramatize the consequences of contraction glaciers.

As The World Burns: 50 Simple Things You Can Do To Stay In Denial, by Derrick Jensen and Stephanie McMillan, is a graphic novel about the state of our environment. They use cartoons and abundant sarcasm to convey the message that the attempts people are making to save the environment are not enough to do any real good. Their message challenges both those of Edward O. Wilson and the University of Connecticut in that Jensen and McMillan’s ideas are much more radical and suggest that the ideas posed by Wilson and UConn, such as the importance of recycling and sustainability efforts, are ineffective at saving the environment. We must resolve the challenges posed by Jensen and McMillan so that all of the ideas put forth in the sources may work together rather than against each other. In order to do this we must accept that some of the ideas given by Jensen and McMillan may be too extreme to do any real good and that the ideas suggested by Wilson and UConn, though slightly ineffective, are nonetheless important steps in saving the environment. Taken alone, none of their ideas will save the environment; instead it is necessary to combine the ideas of Wilson, UConn, and Jensen and McMillan in order to create a more realistic plan to save the planet.

“Halloween in the Anthropocene” is a poem written by Craig Santos Perez. Perez writes about how humans will do whatever they can do to gain more money and wealth even at the expense of many lives because it is more convenient with the lack of regulations .Perez constantly switches between the use of american banter to foreign problems tying the two together. Perez utilizes diminishing repetition, tone, and figurative language in “Halloween in the Anthropocene” to refer to his theme of environmental safety.

Al Gore included various examples of logos in his documentary. Logos was necessary to convince the viewers that Global warming was a real threat. One excellent example was the chart that compared CO2 and temperature. It was a well-placed example because it demonstrated the established relationship between CO2 and average temperature, and their pattern of increase. By including graphs and relating the graph’s importance to our daily lives, it grabbed our attention and showed how important it was to fix our habits.

As lofty clouds lower their shoulders against the horizon, the sky likes to have its way with me, a warm front’s humid body slides along my skin, gently whispering against the arch of my back to curl around my waist and stretch along my spine.

Overall, the New York Times editor believes that people need to start caring more for the earth, and need to think about the damages were a causing as the human race. Through telling the readers on how dangerous global warming is, which connects with the readers emotions through an urgent tone, the writer makes strong arguments. In the end, the readers are determined that global warming is indeed real, and a solutions needs to be put in

The thesis of the film “Chasing Ice” is to portray the extreme climate change we are facing today. The film has a clear goal of showing visually the danger we are causing our planet by denying climate change. The aim of the film is to show us visually that climate change does exist and it is happening at a rapid rate. The film does a good job at providing evidence that climate change is happening, by capturing footage of the changes occurring over short periods of time. These videos captured by James Balog’s recording devices make it almost impossible to deny climate change and that is precisely the purpose of the film.

Jonathan Zawada’s practice skips fluidly between object design, sculpture, video, installation, painting, 3D simulations and fashion. The beginnings of his practice have given him a keen eye and thoughtfulness toward the psychological make-up of our ever ‘-present’ world. Taking on complex data structures mixed with analogue elements, Zawada’s work underlines the temporality of human experience.

Environmental issues such as climate change affect life on Earth every day. As Leonardo DiCaprio discusses in his speech during the Paris Agreement for Climate Change Signing at the United Nations, the only way to diminish global warming, one of the most critical issues of this generation, is to take unprecedented action. By informing the audience with an effective strategy, DiCaprio persuades the delegates to make the right decision that will mold the future. His evidence compliments the coherent use of ethos, logos, and pathos. Climate change is a universal matter that can either persist, or be put to an end.

Science fiction movies often depict the consequences of failing to slow the damage to the environment in the science fiction movie, The Day After Tomorrow, the weather on earth begins to do strange things. The ice caps start to melt and break, tornados rip through Hollywood, and tsunamis flood the coast. Jack Hall, a climatologist, explains global warming and the melting of the ice caps is to blame for this weather. He predicts the North Atlantic current will shut down, and the northern states will see the next ice age. The vice president dismisses his claims until his predictions come true in the following days. Eventually, the air in the north gets so cold that people seem to freeze within seconds resulting in a nearly unsurvivable ice age where people in the north must stay inside near a fire to survive. The dystopian future depicted in the movie The Day After Tomorrow reflect societal anxieties about earth’s changing climate.

Thesis Statement: Global warming is a growing concern of scientists and researchers who believe that it is a serious problem for our planet. The concerns and research have also been questioned and have even been called myths. Millions of people find themselves affected by these weather pattern changes and are concerned for their futures. Activists on both sides of the argument are very passionate and not afraid to attack each other in every way they can. There are many questions that are still not answered, however, we continue to see drastic weather changes to Earth. We must go beyond the arguments and learn as much as we can to stop what could possibly lead to the destruction of our planet, our way of life and our future.

Many believe there’s a controversy among scientists over the cause of the climate crisis we’ve been undergoing for the last 50 years, but that’s not actually the case. In the film An Inconvenient Truth, Al Gore sets out to inform individuals that the increase in greenhouse gas emission, in which causes global warming, is a direct result of the habits we possess as individuals, nations, and planet as a whole. Throughout the film, viewers are introduced to a variety of characters who possess motivations relative to the issue, along with many tropes, images, and schemes impacting the way in which the information is presented. We’re also going to analyze mode of audience and the theme relative to characters, events, and setting.

Humans have made changes to planet Earth since their arrival here, that is a fact that seems to be undisputed. However, in the last 200 years, those changes have grown much larger and impacted the Earth as a whole more broadly. From the burning of fossil fuels, the building of atomic weapons, the spraying of pesticides and the genetic engineering of organisms, it seems that we are accustomed to putting progress before pollution, hoping that our progress will fix the havoc that it has left in its wake. This new “human dominated” era has been suggested to be called the Anthropocene which is what it is most commonly recognized as. Others have argued that it should be called the Capitalocene or still others such as writer Donna Haraway think that it should be called the Chthulucene. Whatever we call it, it is clear that it has become a part of our lives in every way, including art and visual culture. Many artists hope to address the changes humans are making and spread the word about the damage we are causing. An example of such art in the Anthropocene is Chris Jordan’s project Intolerable Beauty: Portraits of American Mass Consumption. The project consists of 41 similarly composed photos with rhythmic repetitive design of different piles of objects that are meant to highlight the mass consumption of people and industry in the United States. This project was designed as Jordan puts it, to show “evidence of a slow-motion apocalypse
