AGENDA

 AdvancEd Survey  Claim/Thesis  Outline Argument  Secondary Source/Works Cited

Purpose

 That it is time to make significant changes in response to the reality that global warming (or climate change) is not a political issue but an ethical or moral one.

Consider:

 Is that image of Gore with the American flag waving in the background an example of effective juxtaposition that reminds us of his public service and commitment? Or is it a fallacy that manipulates us to associate Gore with patriotic fervor?

Consider:

 When Gore narrates the near-death experience of his young son and how that affected him, is he shamelessly appealing to our emotions, or is he emphasizing that we often fail to value what is precious until we are in danger of losing it?
