"Global Warming and Climate Change." Gale Opposing Viewpoints Online Collection, Gale, 2023. Gale In Context: Opposing Viewpoints, link.gale.com/apps/doc/PC3010999211/OVIC?u=cobb90289&sid=bookmark-OVIC&xid=267dfd0a. Accessed 30 Sept. 2024.

This is a essay on Global Warming and climate change. The subjects include what climate change and global warming is and causes as well as side effects. The audience is most likely for scholars and those who want to grow their knowledge in climate change. The rhetorical appeal used in this essay is logos as it gives lots of numbers and its kind of effective but its not meant to catch the eye of someone you would have to be looking for it. This source helps define my topic as it gives lots of information about what climate change is and is not aswell as exact numbers about climate change and global warming. There is not really any defect in this paper. This paper is very useful and relevant as it gives a lot of clarifying information.

"Climate Change Is The Greatest Threat To Public Health, Top Medical Journals Warn." Morning Edition, 7 Sept. 2021, p. NA. Gale In Context: Opposing Viewpoints, link.gale.com/apps/doc/A674855112/OVIC?u=cobb90289&sid=bookmark-OVIC&xid=2d1c84a0. Accessed 30 Sept. 2024.

This article is to help support how dangerous this climate crisis truly is. It’s a transcript of a news broadcast that warns people of the danger of climate change. The intended audience is anyone who will listen as its more of a public safety announcement. This article mainly uses pathos as they bring up the tragic deaths from hurricane Ida and have an urgent call to action. Its effective as its quite moving to read about and it creates a sense of urgency. This source helps clarify the topic because it offers a simplistic viewpoint of the situation. The only weakness is that there’s not really any cited sources for the alleged 200 medical journals. This is pretty useful as it helps create an urgency and fear factor but it doesn’t do anything logistically speaking.

"Climate change is unearthing and erasing history all at once." The Economist, 14 Mar. 2024, p. NA. Gale In Context: Global Issues, link.gale.com/apps/doc/A786419194/GIC?u=cobb90289&sid=bookmark-GIC&xid=b2276660. Accessed 30 Sept. 2024.

The purpose of this source is to show how climate change is not only negatively impacting our earth but also our history. The article talks about how rising waters due to climate change is destroying archeological sites that is destroying ancient artifacts. The intended audience is collectors and historians. The rhetorical appeal in the article is pathos as its pulling at the strings of history. Its not super effective because it wasn’t meant to be super appealing. This source helps define the topic as its showing not lonely what climate change is but how it is negatively impacting human history and our very own planet. Theres no real weakness in this article as it gives context though you may need some prior knowledge to climate change to be able to read it and understand fully. This is quite relevant to my topic as it directly shows how climate change is already negatively impacting our planet and our history.

"Climate Change Is a Hoax." Natural Disasters, edited by Margaret Haerens and Lynn M. Zott, Greenhaven Press, 2013. Opposing Viewpoints. Gale In Context: Opposing Viewpoints, link.gale.com/apps/doc/EJ2220009297/OVIC?u=cobb90289&sid=bookmark-OVIC&xid=54cb127d. Accessed 30 Sept. 2024.

This is a political cartoon to show how ignorant some people are. It shows a man holding up a sign that says, “climate change is a hoax”. Though he’s standing on a piece of melting iceberg with a polar bear behind him. The intended audience is most likely for people who think climate change isn’t real. The rhetorical appeal is ethos which is displayed in a humorous scene. It was effective as it gets people to think about it more than if it was serious. This helps the topic by showing the reader how unreasonable the counter argument is. A weakness in this depiction is that there’s no evidence to back it. Its pretty useful to dispel the counterclaim but other than that it doesn’t hold much support for the rest of the argument.
