Climate Change: A Persuasive Speech Analysis

“I need a breath of fresh air.” is a phrase often said, but since the creation of this phrase, how fresh is our air? Air pollution is the release of harmful substances into the atmosphere and if not focused on will create long-term effects on us and our environment. “Reducing Carbon Emissions Will Slow Climate Change.” a speech by Barack Obama suggests we reduce carbon emissions and use cleaner energy to lower air pollution. In “The Environmental Benefits of Electric Cars Vary State to State.” Daniel Yawitz, a research analyst, believes electric cars are beneficial for lowering air pollution in many states. Jeremy Michael in “Hybrids Are the Most Economically Viable.” supports that hybrids are the best choice to lower carbon emissions, one

When addressing the issue of climate change, Barack indicated, “Reducing Carbon Emissions is essential for slowing climate change and protecting the planet from devastation” (Barack 1.) Carbon emissions come from the burning of oil and coal. As the president, he is doing what he suggests is best for the country. During his speech, Barack gathered that “Science accumulated levels of air pollution have increased and tell us our planet is changing in ways that will have profound impacts on all of humankind” (Barack 2.) With access to researchers who focus on this topic, he is given the best point of view. Some long term effects include global warming and pulmonary disease. Some people might challenge my view and say that there are more important problems, such as world hunger, but on the contrary reducing and addressing air pollution would be important to protect everyone for years to come.With such evidence given, it is right to argue that air pollution is a serious issue we should take action

Michalek concluded that, “although the environment benefits of an electric car vary state to state, these vehicles are climate friendly emitting fewer gases” (Michalek 1.) Electric cars help reduce air pollution becoming a better alternative than fuel powered cars when it comes to positive environmental benefits. When cars emit fewer gases into the atmosphere, it results in cleaner air. Daniel Yawitz, research analyst suggests, “hybrids are less costly than creating charging infrastructure and does more good for the environment” (Yawitz 1.) Although Yawitz suggests hybrid cars are better, both electric and hybrid cars make a better alternative to fuel engine
