Climate change is an issue that half the population agrees upon and the other half pretend like a potential life-altering threat isn't looming above us. In an article published on the Forbes written by Davide Banis, he looks at Climate Change as a matter of international security. The article highlights the potential destruction that Climate Change will have if the United States as a nation does not do something to stop it. The author reiterates ideas like the increased melting of the polar ice caps, water, and food insecurity, changes in weather including heat waves, droughts, floods, and how the everchanging climate will affect urban coastal areas in South Asia, Southeast Asia, and the Western Hemisphere. The audience while reading this article should focus on the effect global warming is going to have. Not only is it changing our atmosphere as a whole, but it will also eventually affect future generations. As a society, we need to band together to help alleviate the problem. While global warming and climate change isn't a simple problem our society can make simple changes to everyday life to help. If we were to start recycling, limiting our use of carbon vehicles, relying more on reusable energy, and other simple changes we could help alleviate our planet and help restore our climate. This outlet of news source is a usual run-of-the-mill online article that anyone can access. It is effective in the way it communicates the message the only thing it could have done better is adding some more content to the article to give it more length. This is an article that if you were to read you would have to do another search to find supplemental information. Overall, this article does a decent job of communicating a problem that Americans either believe or don't believe in and is another source to use to combat those individuals that have a hard time believing in Climate Change.
