This article is about how the rising climates due to greenhouse gases are creating wildly unpredictable, and extreme weather conditions. The climate change crisis will cause drastic changes in weather patterns if there isn't a change with the amount of fossil fuels we use within the next 50 years. Despite this, climate change is still a phenomenon that is taboo in the media world. Research shows Americans turn to the weather channel more than any other type of media for weather coverage.
This author was very openly against the media's avoidance of the topic of climate change. She said things like "Americans deserve a fair warning about how climate change will affect them in their own backyard." She also addresses climate change as a "slowly unfolding disaster." Her negative tone throughout the article, backed up by scientific proof, was enough to sway any reader.
"Stop pretending it's not climate change"

It seems that the author might be a scientist who is well aware of the climate change and knows all of the possible effects.
ReplyDeleteI find it odd that it is November and it feels like its September today, but on Halloween it snowed. The weather is all over the place.
ReplyDeleteI think it's kind of silly to ignore climate change, unless you are a scientist who is fully aware of all the evidence and have an alternate explanation.
