Persuasive Essay On Global Warming

The Earth is our home, so why don’t we take care of it and preserve it? Most people think that they can’t make a difference as just one individual in a world of over 7 billion people, but that couldn’t be farther from the truth. Anything from being a vegetarian, which highly reduces the amount of water used and byproduct created when farming animals, to carpooling to school helps combat global warming. By convincing my English class that global warming is an important issue that we are facing today and will face in the future, I hope to get them to take their own initiatives to reduce their footprint on our planet Earth.

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.

Description and Rhetorical Appeals: This ad shows WWF wanting the world to stop air pollution. “ah…fresh air” is what reads in bold white lower case letters, and underneath they write “stop air pollution before it stops our breathing”. In the ad it looks as if the sun is setting and these 3 chimneys are releasing noxious gases. The noxious gases fill the orange sky with smoke. WWF is concerned about those noxious gases being released in the air causing problems not only for humans, for plants and animals.

It was uploaded by Biola University, and features speaker Dr. Garry DeWeese. He is a sociology professor at Talbot University. His background includes attending seminary in Dallas, TX, being a pastor, and a attendee of the United States Air Force Academy. Right from the beginning of the video, he proclaims he is a Christian. He stated some good examples by talking about nature. I too enjoy the outdoors, and always feel serene when I'm out in nature by myself. So I took that speaking point to heart. He further goes on to discuss climate change. This is such a touchy subject in today's society. There is a huge rift in the world about global warming. What he said is true, people are demonized for their beliefs. That's not right. Everyone is entitled to his or her own beliefs. I think if the issue of climate change was not polluted with politics in the first place, the issue would be much better addressed than it is today. As living organisms we have a responsibility to ensure our planet's future for those to

Gore uses a variety of ways to appeal to pathos and logos. One of the first things he does, is explain global warming, he them proceeds to show a short, funny cartoon to describe global warming. While this short is not exactly accurate, and looks like it is taken from The Simpsons cartoon, it is comical, and he uses this short to intrigue his audience. After drawing us in, he keeps us attentive by sprinkling these little emotional

The problem that the pro- global warming theorists have created is that of social standing and little else. While there may be scientific backing to support some of the theory, the media presents the problem with great sensationalism. Global warming and energy conservation has thus become a trend and losses some of its validity through this. The scare tactics used by the media to “promote awareness” are just that, a linguistic ploy to gain favor. “Awareness of this global threat reinforced public concern and environmental problems and thereby provided environmental activists, scientists, and policy makers with new momentum in their efforts to promote environmental protection.” (McCright, 2000) This statement draws line to the potential benefits that would be received if the pro-global warming theorists were to draw enough attention to the issue. Driven by social empowerment and conviction to environmental protection, these activists misrepresent the actual threat and paint it as being much more

It makes people crazy because there is always something going on with the world nature wise. Looking pass through those data and though all those numbers won’t stay in your head, it's vital to notice that it has caused so much damage on our planet and that global warming is legit; it’s not something that is made up. By showing past performance of global warming for example hurricane katrina which affected most of america. We need to take a stand of this problem and actually make a difference than just ranting about it’s horrible affect. He provides an enormous amount of technical information by taking advantage of a multimedia format. By showing us the impact and the future impact it’ll make, it catches the audience attention leading them to give sympathy and hopefully acting upon

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.

The smoke coming from the factory in the poster is shaped like a hurricane; a foreshadowing of what will be a result of global warming in the future. In the second poster, a waddle of penguins is portrayed traveling across a dry desert, which was used to interest an audience focused on the effects of global warming on the environment and animals. While the first poster’s image focused on the cause of global warming, this poster focuses on the effects of global warming. The picture shows that global warming will drastically change the environment and that animals will lose their normal habitats. It is important that both audiences are targeted in order to increase the number of viewers of the

Proposition: The American people should understand that global warming is real and that it is harmful to our environment. I. Attention getter: Global warming - is it real? It is real and it has major effects on our environment and on human life…… II. Audience relevance: Although many of us do not think much about global warming it does affect our quality of life and will have long term effects on our children’s

Time has overtaken the minds of society today in a multitude of ways. Daily tasks such as visiting family members, attending meetings, and paying bills all incorporate the substantial importance in tracking every second of a person’s life. In addition to scheduling, time is often denoted as a system of counting down until an indefinite end occurs. In an advertisement by Ferdi Rizkiyanto, a digital artist, an hourglass is used to represent time before the fate of humans concludes due to global warming. Within the hourglass, sand has been replaced by the water of melting icebergs, and the droplets trickle into the lower level containing the homes of modern day society. The global warming hourglass ad attempts to emphasize the importance of immediately solving earth’s impending environmental problems by appealing to the emotions of fear and pity, but the awaiting disaster used in the visual is ineffective because it will not occur during the audience’s lifetime.

Alongside, this advertisement containing a decidedly descriptive visual perspective, through the quotation and the written text “THE TSUNAMI KILLED 100 TIMES MORE PEOPLE THAN 9/11. The planet is brutally powerful. Respect it. Preserve it” the viewers are able to analyze what the intended message the advertisers are trying to place within their heads, all in all; the purpose of this advertisement, which can all be said through the sense of implying how powerful our planet is, and if we don’t behave in a particular way it will lead to the death of us, just as how over 300000 individuals have died from tsunamis incidents. The ideology that World Wildlife Fund is trying convey is the importance of our planet, and without it we are nothing. This advertisement is extremely effective because it focuses on an important issue that our planet is facing, and it has to do with the fact that everything we do from driving, smoking, or even dropping a piece of paper on the ground, overall adds up and has an effect

Greenhouse gases are released into our atmosphere every day. However, too much fossil fuel appear in the atmosphere, causing climate changes and many national crises around the world. Global warming is a really big issue to me, because it affects everything in our environment. Things from the past are now looking and feeling different because of the environmental abuse. The creator of two environmental awareness ads, Ferdi Rizkiyanto, is a well known artist. He uses dramatic appeals, and demonstrates his message through his artwork. One of his ads called “ Time “ features a time glass of the time we have left to react to global warming. While in the other ad called “ Help Stop Global Warming,” features a desperate mother

Do you love the earth as much as you love pizza? In an advertisement for Pizza & Love, a pizza place that uses recycled pizza boxes, shows a photograph of an opened brown pizza box with one slice of pizza left. The only thing left on the round cardboard base where the pizza sat is grease and a single slice of pizza. The advertisers used this round cardboard base to represent the earth and the grease remaining on the round base forms the shape of the continents. The last slice of pizza is loaded with greens, specifically broccoli. I don’t think it was by accident that they chose broccoli toppings on the pizza slice as broccoli look like small trees. The slice sits in what would be considered South America and the Amazon rain forest. On the left hand side of the print-ad there are the words in bold white font, one word per line, that states, “Fight for the last slice.” In the bottom right hand corner is the Pizza & Love’s logo that says, “We make pizza not global warming.” This print-ad is very well thought out, and makes you think about the deeper meaning behind the ad.

“The American flag has gone through changes over time; those changes have made an impact on our country and made it what it is today.” Our earth is like the American flag, it is constantly changing, and one issue that affects our earth is global warming. We now live in an industrialized world which is filled with many new technologies that provide goods and services to us, provide us with energy and electricity and transportation. These new technological advances have made our lives much easier to live with. These technologies include things such as: factories, power plants, automobiles, etc… this has made the human population very dependent and accustomed to all of these technological advances. The use of technology requires the energy of
