The Four Interlocking Plots : Show Us The Truth About Global Reality

In Michael Pollan's article “Why Bother?” he discusses how climate change is a serious threat to humanity and needs to be addressed immediately. Pollan begins to discuss possible solutions but also realizes that these “solutions” may not be easily achieved. There is no way to eliminate people who make a conscious effort to help the advancement of climate change, but it is still important for others to attempt to make changes to help save the environment.

We renewed our commitment to do so during this G20 Summit. As our planet becomes increasingly interconnected, we need to promote strong, sustainable economic growth that works for everyone, and embrace the need to be socially and environmentally responsible. This is about creating jobs and opportunities for everyone, and building a healthier and more prosperous tomorrow for our children and grandchildren.”

In this speech he touches on the topic of climate change in which he supported that we needed to change our way of living to save the world. “Some may still deny the overwhelming judgment of science, but none can avoid the devastating impact of raging fires and crippling drought and more powerful storms” he created ways to stop ice from melting in

“We have to learn our way out of current social and environmental problems and learn to live sustainably.” (ESD)

We can redirect this, how? Let me suggest that if a farmer sees a tree that is unhealthy, they don't look at the branches to diagnosis it, they look at the root, so like that farmer, we must look at the root, and not to the branches of the government, not to the politicians run by corporations.We are the root, we are the foundation, this generation, it is up to us to take care of this planet.It is our only home, we must globally warm our hearts and change the climate of our souls and realize that we are not apart from nature, we are a part of nature.And to betray nature is to betray us, to save nature, is to save us. Because whatever you're fighting for- Racism, Poverty, Feminism, Gay Rights, or any type of Equality. It won't matter in the least, because if we don't all work together to save the environment, we will be equally

“We feel helpless in the face of our knowledge, and we’re not sure we want to know anything more,” (Steingraber 674). Due to the fact that this crisis has multiple causes, those who accept the responsibilities that go along with solving this environmental issue feel as though their to-do list is never done, filling with one problem after another. Often times these activists begin to feel helpless. There isn't just one cause of the problem but multiple. Sandra Steingraber stated “the environmental crisis is actually two crisis, although they share a common cause. You could view it as a tree with two main branches,”(672). She understands that it isn't just one single problem but multiple problems with the same cause. People may fix one “branch” but they don’t realize that there are other “branches” that needs to be

The author first starts off his argument by claiming that the climate change issue is no longer a problem for the next generation ; instead a trouble that the current generation will face and will have to solve. In order to raise awareness and the seriousness of the issue, Eduardo describes the issue as something that ‘we’ cannot do to prevent it ; an issue that is

During the given speech President Obama touches on the topics about climate change, economic challenges and immigration challenges. The president used history to argue that “those who told us to fear the future” have failed to “restore past glory.” Climate change made the most sense to me because we are discussing this topic in science class, and as a generation we are constantly recycling and trying to erase our carbon

In his commencement speech in regards to winning a Nobel Peace Prize in 2007 alongside the International Panel for Climate Change, concerned Albert Gore addresses the exacerbation of global warming. Albert employs analogies, appeals to logos through cause and effect, metaphors, appeals to ethos through biblical references in his speech. Through the utilization of these rhetorical devices, Gore’s clear purpose is to convince the audience that in order to repair and simultaneously prevent the detrimental effects of global warming, worldwide cooperation -- through both political and societal attitudes -- is vital for the sake of humanity, now and in time to come. Albert uses a formal and suggestive tone throughout his speech.

The novel, written by renowned journalist Elizabeth Kolbert, is very informative and influential. The novel is imperative to the twenty-first century and this generation because most of our population does not understand the significance of climate

Attending the January 13, 2016, Climate Change Research and Action in Washington State symposium, gave me hope for common and individual action. One of the keynote presenters Dr. John Byrne, was at the UNFCCC COP 21 in Paris, France and he spoke of how internationally, we are struggling to address concerns, but nations, states, and towns are making things happen. A polycentric approach to our local and global concerns. Local people, helping people in our individual communities. However, Dr. John Byrne at his meet and greet prior to the symposium, eluded to a lack of discussion for those who are disadvantaged in society. We are still struggling for democracy.

"The pace of global warming is accelerating and the scale of the impact is devastating. The time for action is limited - we are approaching a tipping point beyond which the opportunity to reverse the damage of CO2 emissions will disappear."

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.

As debates surrounding climate change have grown in recent times, especially with Donald Trump’s withdrawal from the Paris Climate Agreement, many environmentalists have evidently viewed his deed as a call to action. In today’s world, environmental change has been glossed over simply for the fact that some disagree upon its existence. In turn, other well known figures have taken matters into their own hands; as a strong believer in climate change himself, famous actor and environmentalist Leonardo DiCaprio gave a powerful speech in front of the United Nations (UN) Climate summit. Through use of the rhetorical triangle, the three appeals, the patterns of development, and SOAPSTone, DiCaprio presents his speech effectively to his audience.

“There’s one issue that will define the contours of this century more dramatically than any other, and that is the urgent threat of a changing climate.” - Barack Obama. Climate change has been a popular topic of discussion, because of the threat to our environment. The world will forever be changed if climate change isn’t taken into serious consideration and not in a good way. Climate change has been a popular topic of discussion, because of the threat to our environment. Climate change has had many negative effects, for example, damage to coral reefs, the increase of wildfires, and most importantly rising sea levels. The damage to our earth cannot always be undone nevertheless it can make some things disappear forever.
