Craaaaaaaaaazy craaaaazy things are happening to the world we live in, and to the planet we live on. "One in 10 species could face extinction by the year 2100" Whoah, whoah wait, what? One in ten? That is literally insane. Plants, animals, fungi; organisms that maintain the balance of life as we know it...could just disapear. For every action in nature, there is a reaction; a ripple effect. You remove one organisms from an ecosystem, and lo and behold, the delicate balance of that ecosystem goes out of whack. One organism is removed, then another is left without food. Another organism dies, and the organisms they once preyed upon multiply like wild fire, and consume too much of another organism. Thus the cycle repeats. What is is the cause of these terrifying predictions? Climate change. And not just any climate change; human -induced climate change. When will people realize that what we do now to our planet will come back and bite us in the a$$ in the future? We are the cause of this climate catastrophe. Just think, if these predictions (that 1 out of 10 speies will become extinct within the next 100 years) are correct, then the human life will forever be altered. Do we not realize that we depend on many organisms and ecological reactions in order to survive? Do we think that we could lose so many species and not face the consequences, witness the aftermath, or feel the impact? BIG NEWS for you people.....we are a species. How do we know that we would not be one of those out of ten that will become extinct? Asnwer; we don't. We need to stop being ignorant as a speies, become cognizant that everything afftects our world and way of life, and accept responsibility.
The article "1 in 10 species...." was a very factual and scientific representation of information. Lot's of logos. Other than the facts, there was not any literary effort. Rather dry, but once I stopped to think and reflect, it had a big impact on me none the less.
To read more on article >>> 1 in 10 <<<
it seems like this is the type of article where the author is able to rely only on logos and successfully relay his message to his audience because it is so serious. good job!
ReplyDeleteYou're doing a lot of environmental stuff! Yes, maybe using just logos is the best way to go in an article like this, because people won't be able to argue with the raw scientific facts. As long as they don't get too bored to read it all. This is really scary to think about! I hope I live to 105 so I can see if this really happens.
