In “Climate Change is Violence” , A excerpt from her book call “The Encyclopedia of Trouble and Spaciousness“. In this particular piece you see how Rebecca Solnit stresses the importance of climate change and our response to it. She does this first by appealing to the readers ability to relate between two categories being extremely wealthy and not. This establish the role and tone for the article by allowing the reader to identify with a group and then read on the effects on that specific group. She stresses in the excerpt that Climate Change is not just something that is happening but something that directly impacts us and something that we should take serious/action against. She addresses this using pathos explaining the disproportion of harm in other countries with the effect of Climate change on food, ethos by appealing to the readers morals of right and wrong and logos by explaining the current effects of Climate Change that we all have access to knowing such as the French Revolution. Ultimately, she uses many methods to convey that Climate change is violence against us, and it is something that can be change but it has to be unified and the only way that can happen is if we change our view and the narrative of Climate Change.
