Ross Schaeffer Monigold: The Importance Of Climate Change

HOOK-

In early July and late June native and local hunters, Ross Schaeffer and his niece Karmen Schaeffer Monigold have motored through the broken sea ice in north-western Alaska, on the hunt for seals lounging on frosty rafts to find temperatures were close to 70 degrees, there was no ice in sight, and the seals had surprisingly already migrated north. This seal-hunting season was the shortest in reminiscence, lasting less than a week, compared with the traditional three weeks. Carbon dioxide in our atmosphere now sits at 400.7 parts per million. Artic ice has dissipated by more than 13% since 1880. Land Ice is disappearing at a frightening rate of 287 billion metric tons per year.

He easily positions the audience to agree and trust his views as his background of being an ex- president is an advantage. The audience sees him as a famous, opinionated and reliable man in politics therefore allowing him to gain the audience’s attention straight away.

The documentary director, Davis Guggenheim deals with social issues that are wide spreading therefore his body of work positions the audience in fear by displaying visual techniques like personal stories and animations. The documentary’s philosophies reflects scare tactics that impact the audience dramatically and by introducing further fear which then creates discussions that extends awareness. Therefore Gore is a symbolic code himself as he adds
