Climate change is a very real and relevant topic that has been a major source of debate over the last few years. The way we understand this subject depends solely in how we research the topic and/or take in the information of public news outlets. Within different levels of those outlets, specific rhetorical strategies are used in order to connect with the audience at hand better. For example, climatekids.nasa.gov explains climate change as far as definitions and causation go (logos – logic). You barely see the stress and urgency that cnn.com displays to their audience, using human emotion to connect the urgency of climate change to the assumed adult audience.
