David Suzuki’s Editorial Comments

“But the fact is, even if we start reducing our emissions today, we can’t stop global warming in its tracks because the warming has already begun and it will take centuries before some effects, such as sea level rise, stop entirely. This leads to a common complaint some critics raise against the Kyoto Protocol, the only international framework set up to reduce the emissions that cause climate change. Alone, it will do little to curb the problem, so what’s the point?

In two of his arguments, he uses facts such as people and places, like the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFC), and scientists, as well as the term dangerous, because dangerous is used as a term in both the quotes below. “That may prove impossible. Instead, the goal, according to the 1992 United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, is to stabilize concentrations of greenhouse gases at levels to “avoid dangerous anthropogenic interference” with the climate – a phase that’s hard to say and even harder to define.” “Two scientists explore this question in a recent edition of the journal Science. The researchers, from Brown and Princeton Universities, define “dangerous” as either warming that puts unique and valuable ecosystems at risk or warming that risks “large-scale discontinuities in the climate system” – in other words, warming that severely disrupts our current environment.”

I would say that this is an effective conclusion. To me, it’s an effective conclusion because he restates some of the topics discussed in his editorial and finishes it off with something that seems suitable for the topic discussed. I would say that this is an effective editorial. It’s an effective editorial because it would get the readers wondering, “Is what everyone’s saying about global warming true? Can global warming really melt the Antarctic Ice Caps? And can coral reefs really affect the sea level?” I mean, this editorial can really get people wondering and putting the topic on their minds, well, that’s what definitely happened to me, so it’s bound to work on other people, especially those who are really concerned with global warming.
