He uses popular symbols in his argument to get his audience to relate to his case.

He also said “Over the last decade fire deaths have increased by 30%, he said. ”(“America is still burning’: Fire departments are struggling to recruit as climate change and modern materials make the job deadlier than ever”).

In this thesis, he brings out the idea of metamorphosis again and re-enforced the idea about how climate change can be use to end war. “Climate change might in fact be used as an antidote to war. We are undergoing a transition from the threats emanating from the logic of war to those arising from the logic of global risks” (Beck). What is interesting about the example is how Beck tells about how climate change could potentially change our priorities, and enough to put the war conflicts aside to work together to face one common threat, the danger of losing our home. Another interesting point in the same thesis is about how people can be altruism in an apocalyptic scenario.

Climate Change is one of the most unsettling problems mankind faces today. It leaves an impact on every single living thing, on every continent, no matter the privilege. Long term investment must be used to change the world. People must do more than just change out their light bulbs for eco-friendly ones, or drive fuel efficient cars. A choice as simple as changing our diets could reduce a human’s carbon footprint by fifty percent.

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.

In 1979, when climate change was first truly being studied, there were different reports published, one by scientists and one by economists, that showed two contrasting conclusions: The scientists said that the accumulating CO2 was the problem, and the economists disagreed claiming, “we should wait and see.” Some politicians then decided to only use the study done by the economists to influence policy towards a more economically rewarding route, no matter the consequences stated by the scientists (Oreskes and Conway, 2010). To this day, people have used similar tactics to drive the forces behind climate denial, with most reports coming from scientists with heavy ties to the fossil fuel industry that obscure their objectivity. But the truth is, climate change is happening, and it is taking a great toll on our environment, especially in the arctic region, where habitats are at their most vulnerable. It is possible that sometime before the next century, the Arctic Ocean could become entirely ice free during the summer months.
