Global Warming and Climate Change

Introduction

In this article, I am going to focus on a comparison of two articles: "atopic overview titled ‘the global warming and climate change’ from Gale opposing viewpoint online collection publishers.” And “a viewpoint essay titled ‘climate change must be addressed in developed countries’ authored by Curtis Doebbler and published by adaptation and climate change publisher. SUGGESTED INTRO : Comment by Dodson, Dianna: You do not quote general information. If you quote specific information from the source, use quotation marks. Standard formal writing also is usually written in third person (he, they, it, the paper). First person (I, we, us,) is only used when the paper is personal: My Earliest Memory, My Reader Response, etc.

SENTENCE 1: Begin by defining/introducing the topic of the paper: climate change. SENTENCE 2: The article “Global Warming and Climate Change” by FIRST NAME Gale and “Climate Change Must Be Addressed in Developed Countries” by Curtis Doebbler are about climate change, but the Doebbler article provides more effective rthetorical ideas compared the article by Gale. In my opinion, the article authored by Curtis provides more rhetorical effective ideas compared to the article published by Gale. Curtis's article suggests that most of the developed countries, especially in the United States, play a big role in contributing to global warming and climate change, yet they refuse to implement strategies that assist in reducing this issue. On the other hand, Gales's article suggests that the current changes in climate and global warming are due to the natural cycles that have repeatedly occurred over the course of earth's history. Curtis's article is more focused on the scientific facts that cause global warming and climate changes, while Gale's article is more focused on the theoretical causes of global warming and climate change.

Title

The articles are titled 'global warming and climate change,' and 'climate change must be addressed in developed countries.' Both articles are well written with the strong support of the thesis statements through well-established explanations and examples in both articles. The article titled ‘ “cClimate cChange mMust bBe aAddressed in dDeveloped cCountries” ' has been written in such a way that it has focuses d on the United States to represent the developed countries, which makes the article title have a strong base and makes it outstanding. The other article, has been titled ' “Global wWarming and Climate cChange,' which is a short and outstanding title that and makes the reader want to find out what is being discussed regarding global warming and climate change. Both titles have well represented the articles since they are catchy, . In my opinion, t but the article titled 'Climate Change must be addressed in developed countries has a better title than the other article. This is because it makes the reader curious about find what the developed countries are not doing to deal with the issue of climate change and global warming. The article titled((( 'Climate change must be addressed in developed countries' is strong since it makes the audience find out why the developed countries are not aware of climate change and global warming .))) The article titled ‘global warming and climate change’ is strong since it is simple and makes the audience want to find out what is being discussed regarding global warming and climate change.

Claim

Gale, the author of the article titled 'Global warming and Climate change,' claims that the ‘current climate changes and global warming are as a result of natural cycles that have repeatedly occurred in the course of earth's history . This article suggests that changes in climate are caused by natural processes on earth that regularly create and destroy atmospheric gases, which bring about the greenhouse effect. Curtis's article titled 'Climate change must be addressed in developed countries' claims that using through scientific facts , the that climate changes and global warming are caused and accelerated by the increased use of carbon-rich fossil fuels , which increase the emission of carbon, a gas that heats the earth when trapped in the atmosphere. Both claims are strong since they have been supported with evidence that explains more about the claim and shows the claim's main ideas. For Gale's article, it would have been more fitting if it had likewise focused on the emission of carbon as the main cause of climate change and global warming rather than focusing on the theory of natural processes. Curtis's article has a better claim since it suggests that global warming and climate change are caused by human activities that lead to carbon emission, which heats the atmosphere when trapped in the earth. The article has also focused on why climate change has to be addressed in developed countries. Comment by Dodson, Dianna: fix Comment by Dodson, Dianna: fix

Opposition

The article by Curtis suggests that ((('The United States been the leader developed countries hinder action and measures from fighting and responding to climate and global warming changes that are brought about by the excess emission of carbon due to human activities polluting the poor states leading to increased greenhouse gases.))) Gale’s article disagrees with the claims of Curtis’s article since it suggests that the earth's atmosphere is composed of various gases that trap heat radiations from the sun and the current changes in climate and global warming is due to natural processes that occur through the natural cycles that and have repeatedly occurred in earth's history. Natural processes include the decay of animal and plant matters , which leads to the emission of carbon dioxide , and this has contributes d to a significant increase in the percentage of carbon in the atmosphere. Both articles' opposition is fair since the authors have ensured that they present their claims thoroughly with appropriate support. The authors have also ensure d that their articles bring out the main idea that was is intended for the article rather than contradicting each what the other article has focuses d on. Comment by Dodson, Dianna: This sentence does not make sense. Missing words?

Common ground

One of the common grounds presented in both articles is that climate change and global warming have s brought about adverse effects on humanity, environments, and different ecosystems and habitats. The article state s that that current and possible future consequences of global warming and climate change will bring about serious complications for future generations, which makes it the greatest threat that humanity is facing. Both articles have also discuss ed the issue of the United States withdrawing from or and not taking part in the effort to fight against actions that bring about the adverse effects of climate change. The c Common ground also occurs in both articles when the authors discuss how the developed countries have resisted following the Kyoto Protocol, which requires them to lower their greenhouse gas emissions percentage over a time period of five years.

Statistics and other Supporting evidence

Both articles do not have many much statistics since they are qualitative, making them more focuse d on collecting and analyzing the non-numerical data to understand the different opinions regarding global warming and climate change. Gale’s article statistics suggest s that people have started to note that (((the anthropogenic climate is taking place over the past years, and an estimate of half the American's do not contribute in preventing or fighting against actions that bring about global warming.))) This article's statistics also show that around 66% of the public believe that human activities bring about global warming, and the change in climate has begun to take effect, and soon it will pose a severe threat to humanity (SOURCE). . Gale's article statistics also show that research by NASA has shown that climate change has caused sea-level rise at a rate of 3.3 millimeters annually(SOURCE). On the other hand, Curtis's article statistics show that temperatures can rise by as much as 10 degrees Celsius in some regions of the globe under the current scenario of climate change(SOURCE). Despite this, the article's statistics also show that while developing countries have agreed to reduce their emission, the developed countries have refused to follow the Kyoto protocol since the undeveloped countries are the ones experiencing the significant effect of climate change global warming. Both articles are topic overviews, which makes them to not have any participants to be involved in the research. Comment by Dodson, Dianna: Confusing

The article by Curtis titled 'Climate change must be addressed in developed countries' is more rhetorical. This is because the article explains how the developed countries greatly contribute to the emission of carbon, which causes climate change, yet they have refused to take part or and have taken little action to reduce activities that causes climate change. The article tries to explain that despite the great effort taken by other countries to convince the developed countries to reduce their carbon emission, the developed countries have refused, suggesting that it will negatively affect their economies. y.

Credibility

One of the experts in the article title ‘Climate change must be addresses in developed countries’ is its the article’s author, Curtis Doebbler. One of the reasons that make Curtis be an expert for this article is that he is a well- renowned international human rights lawyer; thus, he is well aware of how to present the article as well as on how to fight for human rights for the poor countries denied by the developed countries. Through the assistance of other experts such as Sharon Begley as well as books such as 'Don't sell your coat' by Harold, Ambler Curtis has been able to explain and shows how the developed countries who are the major cause of climate change do not care about the developing and undeveloped countries. These experts have an interest in showing how the developed countries led by the United States do not take part in dealing with the emission of carbon to reduce climate change. One of the things that make the experts in this article credible is that they are well-renowned lawyers and writers who want all humans to be treated equally and fairly. Gale's other article, titled ‘Global warming and climate change,' is a topic overview, that gives making it have several experts involved in the research. One of the expert s organization used in this article is the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to prove that climate changes are caused by natural processes that place in the earth's atmosphere and cause adverse effects over time. One reason that makes NASA is an expert in climate change is that it mainly focuses on research regarding the earth’s processes and human activities. The article has also used experts such as Gallup, who are focuses d on research regarding public interest in climate change, to show how individual’s opinions have changed to believing that human activities cause climate change. Comment by Dodson, Dianna: Article titles get “Title” quotation marks. Book titles get italics. Comment by Dodson, Dianna: Why the comma?

Conclusion

Both articles provide well-analyzed reports and a topic overview regarding climate change and global warming. The articles assist in understanding the different causes of climate change and how the developed countries refuse to take part in reducing carbon emission, suggesting that it would affect their economy. With both articles having a different focus on global warming and climate change, I would recommend individuals read both articles to understand both authors' different viewpoints. With the current climate change and global warming effects that are taking place around the world, I agree with both articles that it is high time that people start to take action against some of the activities that cause climate change. In both articles, the authors have ensured that there is no inappropriate language used.
