Jimmy Kimmel's Portrayal On Climate Change

444 Words2 Pages

It's sad that society can not trust their own politicians to be upfront about issues like climate change, but that is the reality we face. Instead, we have to hear the truth from entertainers like Jimmy Kimmel and Bill Nye to weed through the excessive tales of deceit for us. Additionally, NASA is backing them up. It seems they may be the only government agency that doesn't f**k with our intelligence.

JIMMY KIMMEL GETS REAL ON CLIMATE CHANGE

The late show host is a comedian first and political activist second, but even Jimmy Kimmel knows a bad joke when he sees one. Climate change has to be the biggest joke going right now. On his segment on climate change the other night, he stated that NASA and 97 percent of climate scientists agree that the warming we are experiencing is likely due to human activity. Still, some politicians feel the need to say its a hoax. Those politicians and the other three percent of "scientists" they've probably paid off have been doing everything they can to avoid the reality of the issue. What society is left with is Jimmy Kimmel preaching about the dangers of climate change instead of the people in power.

BILL NYE DOESN'T MESS AROUND EITHER …show more content…

Bill Nye has come under a lot of scrutinies due to his whacky tv show days, but that shouldn't diminish his credibility. Bill Nye is so confident in his claims about global warming that he bet Mar Morano $20,000 that fossil fuels and the earth heating are directly related. Morano laughed it off, but he should take Bill Nye (and his money) seriously. Jimmy Kimmel may just be an intelligent tv host, but Nye has a mechanical engineering degree from Cornell University. He's far from the zany, sound-effect laden "science guy" from days yonder. Additionally, NASA is supporting his, so that should be

In October of 2014, Bill Nye, of “Science Guy” fame, spoke at Lewis & Clark College as part of the Speaker Series sponsored by Campus Activities Board (CAB), President Glassner, and Dean Gonzalez. The advertisement for the events announced that Nye would “talk about his early history, the importance of science education, and “[inspire] others to change the world through it.” Expectations were incredibly high; Nye did not live up to them. His talk lacked a clear purpose and was hard to follow at points. Still, many students left the event reasonably satisfied with the talk.

In Robert J. Liftoff’s article Our Changing Climate Mind-set, he proclaims to the audience that it’s only after 4 catastrophic hurricanes: Harvey, Irma, Jose, and Maria that people see the immediate sense of danger that climate change is causing. Even before the catastrophic hurricanes that devastated millions of people, there were a drumbeat of storms, floods, droughts and wildfires that should have been a clear indicator of climate change. Although there are those that reject the idea that climate change is the result of human devices, awareness has been ever increasing thanks to the many scientist and politicians that she be a topic more heavily discussed. Although this came from a writer that isn’t that well known, the material was published

I had no idea just one degree celsius caused the oceans to grow thirty percent more acidic and melt the world's largest ice caps. I always thought temperature fluctuated so regularly on a day to day basis that there would be no reason for one degree worldwide to make such a huge impact. I really enjoyed how Bill McKibben didn’t try and overwhelm the audience with the science behind why global warming is such a large problem. He explained it in a way that was easy to understand and made it clear that our habits needed to change in a concise manner. I also found it refreshing that he was looking out for the younger population rather than trying to recruit them for his cause.

The initial use of logical examples, Hansen (2009) then looks to initiate the reader’s emotional view on the topic by dismissing the governments concern with the reader’s future generations. Hansen (2009) does this in around the middle of the essay by implying that the government “doesn’t give a damn about your children or grandchildren” (Hansen, 2009 p.434). This allows Hansen (2009) to strike an emotional conquest on readers, presenting that deception the government is providing. This emotional strike of not caring, promotes the readers that they need provide support for their future generations by initiating change.

It is not surprising at all that people did not know about what the Koch Industries were doing because all of them were meant to happen in secrecy. Jane Mayer points out in her book that Charles Koch once said that “In order to avoid undesirable criticism, how the organization is controlled and directed should not be widely advertised,” (55) In other words, he knew that what the Koch Industries were doing was going to create many criticisms that he would found “undesirable” Moreover, the fact that the Koch Industries made television ads that said climate change was not real means that the Koch family, mostly Charles Koch, also has the power to control the media that affects the public significantly. This can be said that it is difficult for the public to know about what the Koch Industries do and why they make such actions because the Koch Industries have the power to do what they want to do in secrecy and influence the public opinion by using the

He pulls quotes from Benjamin Strauss, the vice president for Climate Central who has “a Ph.D. in ecology and evolutionary biology from Princeton”(Williamson 2) and Rob Painting, a “true believer who writes for Skeptical Science”(2) who is simply “a former police officer who is really, really interested in global warming” (3). While Strauss is more qualified to speak on behalf of the science behind climate change, the leading climatologists of the world are nowhere to be seen. Instead, Williamson uses these two, less credible, sources to drive his point of opposition further and more

A harsh cold reality on climate change is exposed to an unbelieving world in Mike Pearl’s “Phoenix will be almost unlivable by 2050, thanks to climate change” article. Mike pearl is a journalist for Vice Magazine in 2017, a rocky year after the election of presidential candidate Donald J. Trump, in a less than stable political climate. As well as a less than stable living climate. According to Mike Pearl, temperatures in Phoenix, Arizona, may be unlivable by 2050 due to climate change. His article is more than effective, as it’s extremely terrifying as he stresses the importance of what this will mean with pathos, logos and ethos.

It is clear that the authors are practicing objective journalism because they went to Paris for the signing and spoke to many different people involved from around the world, however they did not present views that climate change is not happening. This shows that they are not falling for the tricks made by “balanced journalists” that claim they want to look at the controversy and not the actual

As climate change becomes a bigger issue, many individuals find themselves terrified at the thought of a destroyed, uninhabitable earth. These fearful emotions often lead to bleak outlooks on the future, causing people lose hope in the human race’s ability to improve.

In this lecture, Al Gore makes an effective argument for a positive environmental outlook by supporting his talk with facts that appeal to the audience 's emotions, while also demonstrating his credibility. Al Gore begins his talk with a bit of humor to lighten the mood.

The results of mistrust have led to skepticism which in return empowered scientific populism. These issues ranging from vaccines causing autism to the reality of climate change. Living in a country that does not trust science is a huge threat to the climate, as denying climate change will not make it any less real. Despite considerable evidence that climate change exists and is caused by humans, a climate change denier was elected as President, and his policies will have an effect lasting for generations. Ignoring other scientific proof will cause an abundance of challenges, and many issues could be resolved using science

The following comparison will be based on the cartoon essay Science Tales: Lies, Hoaxes, and Scams written by Darryl Cunningham in 2012, as well as “Dire Predictions about Climate Change”, written in form of letters to the editor of The New York Times, 15.05.2012. The two texts share the common theme of climate change. The obvious similarity between the two texts is the focus on climate change and where it comes from, as well as attempting to make the reader think a certain way. They want to persuade the reader to believe their particular point of view with reference to the controversy over global warming.

To show the government is heading in the wrong direction we must make sure that we all know that Climate Change is caused by human activities. An article states, “Ninety-seven percent of scientists agree that human activity and reliance on fossil fuels is warming our planet. And whether you ‘believe’ the science or not, we will be all be suffering the impacts of climate change, even more so if Trump refuses to act during his presidency” (Schleeter, “3 Things Scott Pruitt Has Actually Said About Climate Change”).
