With the power of sending messages that a text could not, visualization is a useful tool that can effectively present ideas to people. Embedded with different rhetorical elements, a visual text can further lead the audience to related issues and inspire it to perform particular actions. Since the green house gases were scientifically proven as a significant contributor toward global warming and climate change, reducing the production of green house gases and recycling domestic wastes have been the campaign for different organizations across the globe. The World Wild Fund of Nature is one that utilizes the ability of visualization to convey this message. The World Wild Fund of Nature is an international non-profit organization whose mission is conserving natural environment and reducing the most pressing threats to the diversity of life on Earth. Recognizing the severe consequences of global warming on the environment and different species, The World Wild Fund of Nature has been putting tremendous efforts on educating the public about the impacts of green house gases and the actions to reduce green house gases production. The advertisements created by The World Wild Fund of Nature project this effort by proposing that many animals are losing their original habitats due to global warming and we can help them by doing a few things in our daily life. The overall vision of the advertisement is gloomy. Beside the penguins, the burning metal barrel, and the poster, everything
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 most important stakeholder in the this issue are animals, as they are currently facing the most lethal impacts of climate change. And one very important group that has been working very hard to deal with environmental issues is the Climate Action
Global Warming has silently crept into our society today because of big business, lack of technology, and greed. And now with a new generation of citizens who understand what we have been doing to our earth have to stand up and do what is right. Global Warming refers to the increase in the earth’s average temperature induced by human activity. Most discussions on Global Warming today show similarities between an increase in global temperature and the increase in carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, methane, and chlorofluorocarbons in the atmosphere. Human activity increases the amount of these gases in the atmosphere and, as a result of the greenhouse effect, increases
In recent years, society has been extremely innovative with its technology, thereby generating a mass increase in the efficiency of the commodities we use in our daily lives, but also elevating the amount of pollution that’s being released into our ozone. This, sequentially, is worsening the effects of the polar bear’s prime enemy: global warming. It is indisputable that the longevity of any animal’s life should not be determined by the preference of a human being; it is unjust for us as people of the earth to decide which animal is more deserving of our help. However, we must start somewhere.
Specific Purpose: To inform the audience about three issues of how global warming is affecting our weather, animals, and our future.
By showing that threats to our environment, it can carry a message to our world. Draper points out, ‘It can transport us to the unseen worlds” (Draper para 5). People will pay attention to photographs more than taking the time to read a document that explains risks to our
As the U.S becomes more industrialized, we have noticed severe changes not only in the economy but in the climate as well. Although change is inevitable, the most recent changes we will begin to notice more often in rising sea levels, melting ice and torrential downpours are fierce. Climate change is caused by a multitude of activities. Much of what happens in the future relies strictly on the actions and inactions of what we do now and later. Experiencing a multitude of different dramatic occurrence's, our Earth is suffering because of climate change. With these issues rapidly increasing, there have been organizations put into place in order to make life here on Earth more sustainable.
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
In this chapter, I have suggested that mainstream news insufficiently communicated environmental issues due to sporadic news coverage, balanced reporting, over-reliance on elite and government sources, and (mis) representation of the issues. Although news coverage is improving this is compared to nil or none at all, modest levels avail. In this chapter, I have also argued that when symbolic and iconic images present a banal depiction of the issues they do nothing more than serve as backdrop to content and convenient shorthand for the reader/viewer how to think about the environment. It is not enough to portray the threat of climate change or other environmental problems. Perhaps by showing what is at stake with an attainable solution a directive response from the viewer may translate to action. Those in the know must do so in a straightforward, non-threatening manner that emphasizes individual as well as collective understanding of the issues, including government intervention so that it is clear what has happened, also what can be done now to prevent further deterioration or damage to Earth. Too often, content emphasizes causes and effects. Both the news and advocacy groups need to address what are solutions and how to curtail future scenarios. Indeed, if the news and for that matter environmental advocates really do their job, both the public and decisions-makers may make a difference. Until then, photographers, environmentalists and others with an ecological stewardship have taken it upon themselves to build alliances and partnerships with specialized entities and put to use alternative media to for a better environment. The remaining chapters look closer at advocating environmental concerns in the twenty-first
The World Wildlife Fund (WWF) has launched several campaigns in the past few years, all focused on several endangered species and natural habitats to try and save the extinction of the planet’s biodiversity. Although WWF has had success in their campaigns and received a plethora of positive feedback, the non-profit organization has also received negative comments in the media.
In order for us to help the wildlife during global warming we need to decrease the amount of pollution we put in the air. We can do this by reducing the amount of energy we use and how many times we use our vehicles in a day. We could also stop littering and start recycling. Land development is also a cause. All of these ways can lead to deterioration of certain species’ habitats. This is a serious problem and i want to persuade and and inform you what we can do to stop it and how it is affecting everyday life lives all the way to to the littlest things to the biggest thing. Global warming is growing at a faster and faster rate. Society thinks global warming is not a big deal and is okay with it. Nobody should be okay with this. Global warming is a horrible way of how we treat yourself, our planet, and the animals.
The concept of global warming has become one of the most widely debated and controversial topics of our time. Scientists learned long ago that the earth’s climate has powerfully shaped the history of humanity. However, it is only in the past few decades that research has revealed that humans have a significant influence on the climate as well. A growing body of scientific evidence indicates that since 1950, the world’s climate has been warming, primarily as a result of emissions from the burning of fossil fuels and the destruction of tropical forests. More importantly, an article titled "Global Warming" published in the New York Times shows that methane, a gas that is emitted from landfills, livestock and oil gas facilities,
Global warming is the constant increase of temperature in the earth’s atmosphere that is caused by the increase of carbon dioxide, chlorofluorocarbons, greenhouse gases and many other pollutants. Chlorofluorocarbons are any type of compounds of carbon, hydrogen, chlorine, and fluorine which are harmful to the ozone layer. Global warming can affect many things, one example is the rising of temperature which can result in different types of disasters like storms, heat waves, floods, and droughts. Global warming also causes Higher death rates, Dirtier air, Higher wildlife extinction rates, the increase of Acidic Oceans, and Higher seas levels. In this essay, I will provide information that will show how harmful global warming can be to not only the earth but to humans and animals, and what we can do to prevent it from increasing.
Many innocent animals have lost their precious life, due to hazardous changes done towards their habitats which puts their lives in danger. Unfortunately for many of us, we might have never gotten to see the beautiful creatures that have once roamed the Earth before us, this is mainly due to climate change destroying their houses.
Global warming has become an unquestionable reality about our current livelihoods; our planet is getting warmer on a daily basis and unfortunately we are without a doubt the cause of this massive problem. Nevertheless, this is not the main environmental issue that we should be worried about. Everywhere in the world, people are facing a hefty amount of new and tough environmental problems every day. Some of them are little and just influence a couple of biological systems, however others are definitely changing the scene of what we are use to. Our planet is hanging at the edge of an extreme natural emergency. Current environmental issues make us vulnerable to disasters and tragedies, now and later on. We are in a condition of natural crisis, with ecological issues rising up high around us. Unless we address the different issues thoroughly and truly we are most likely destined for a catastrophe. Our current ecological issues require some
