Stage Four: Critique and Editorial from a Blog

I read the article—In Climate Denial, Again from the New York Times this evening.  The article’s kind is opinion (editorial). Although this article does not publish the author’s name, it is worth for people to read and think about its issue-- “global warming.”  Also, this article reveals a fact: most republicans not only reject global warming solutions but also changed the truth and minimize its effort.

In my opinion, the author’s intended audience is republicans, democrats, scientists, environmentalists and other people.  Even though we do not know the author’s name, this article effectively uses historical examples and present facts demonstrate its credibility. Absolutely, it is credible.

Republicans are not concerned about global warming though this problem is very serious right now. In order to avoid this problem and keep their benefit, they repudiated scientific & peer-reviewed findings, altered congressional testimony, and suppressed the Environmental  Protection Agency and related people to veto this issue.  However, the writer points out an ugly fact: all of the actions are guided by the Former Vice President, Dick Cheney.  For example, Mr. Cheney has been used his powerful to undercut Mrs. Whitman (A leader who took climate change seriously.) According to Cheney, the effect of global warming is not very important at all. In addition, he thinks that there is not enough evidence to prove the future results. Is that really true? I do not think so. We can find statistical data and scientific findings and analysis online.  They show us that global warming is a very serious problem right now.

As we know, global warming is based upon man-made CO2. There is a strong correlation between CO2 concentrations and increased global temperature.  Ice core samples and polar bear movements show us this is a really urgent problem.  This problem must be solved. If the political party parrots the Cheney line, how can American trust them?  The United States has been built on innovation and scientific prowess, but now this spirit is threatened.
