Ever since my freshman year of high school, I wondered why the debate over whether or not climate change was real was even a debate. We humans have witnessed climate change over the years because we are the cause of it, so what is there to debate about? Climate change is real and action must be taken. Say no to plagiarism. Get a tailor-made essay on “Why Violent Video Games Should Not Be Banned”?Get an original essayAfter reading Joy Williams' essay Save The Whales, Screw the Shrimp, Williams uses rhetorical strategies to grab the attention of the reader on an important issue, she uses repetition "you just want, and want, and want" to get the reader to have the word "want" in her head and writes in the second person "it's not my fault that nature is messy, it’s yours” to lead the reader to know that it’s speaking to you specifically. Williams tries to inform and persuade our readers to be more aware of our environment and what we should do to help improve it. Williams explains that “nature becomes a landscape, a prop” because we build on the environment around us for our own benefit, without thinking about the consequences and risks that may affect us years later. In Williams' essay, she is so blunt about her opinion that people "don't even take pleasure in looking at nature" because when people look at photos and say they feel sad or bad, no real emotion is not mentioned. Williams believes that humans do not appreciate nature as it should be. We don't act to try to fix what we see, but we expose the problem and that's it. Williams also argues that ecological crises are not "solved" by politics but "by culture and character and that a profound change in personal consciousness is necessary." Politics cannot solve this problem, because it is not a political problem, it is a global problem that is intended for all people on Earth who care about this problem to help improve the environment in which we let's live. Regarding Williams' drive to take action to improve the environment, a climate change video titled Why Humans Are So Bad at Thinking About Climate Change by director Andy Murdock, Murdock introduces a visiting UCLA scholar, Mr. Sanjayan, who pointed out something that really stands out for anyone who believes that climate change is a problem that needs to be solved. Sanjayan at (0:33) states that "we need to change the way we talk about climate change." He believes that those who talk about the severity of climate change should step up and take action to solve the problem rather than just talking about it and doing nothing to help. In a UCLA study, they found that “social pressure encourages consumers to conserve energy.” The UCLA researchers said this was effective because in 2016, “Opower was able to generate the equivalent of 2 terawatt hours of electricity.” Proving that taking action on this problem actually helps, in this case, consumers were able to reduce the amount of energy they use at home. Too much energy is bad for our environment due to the burning of fossil fuels which generates tons of CO2 in our atmosphere. Keep in mind: this is just a sample.
