Principles of a Logical Argument First you must make a claim. This can be anything based on the article which you have reviewed. Example: Texting and driving is dangerous Reasons: This answers the question, ‘why?’ You will provide reasons to why you have the position you claimed. Example: Texting and driving is dangerous because it impairs the drivers reaction time leading to increased number of accidents. Evidence: This provides the support. You have made claim and provided a reason for your position, now you must provide evidence to back up your claim. Example: Driver reaction time with someone on a phone is decreased by X. ODOT claims that when your reaction time is decreased by X, you are Y% more likely to get into an accident. 250 Word MINIMUM

Paper For Above instruction

In recent times, climate change has become a pressing global issue, garnering widespread attention from governments, scientists, and citizens alike. I selected a recent article titled "The Rising Sea Levels: Threats to Coastal Cities," which I found in The New York Times. The article discusses how melting glaciers and polar ice are contributing to rising sea levels, threatening to inundate low-lying coastal areas worldwide. It emphasizes the urgency of implementing effective policy measures to mitigate these effects and adapt to changes already underway.

My reaction to this issue is one of concern but also hope. While the threat of rising sea levels presents significant challenges, I believe that proactive measures can make a difference. I feel that governments need to prioritize climate action, including investing in renewable energy sources and strengthening infrastructure defenses for vulnerable communities. Personal responsibility is also critical, such as reducing carbon footprints and supporting sustainable practices. The article makes me think about the importance of collective action; individual efforts combined with policy changes could significantly influence the trajectory of climate change. I am worried about the environmental, economic, and social consequences if no action is taken, but I also remain optimistic that through global cooperation, positive change is possible.

The rising sea levels threaten to displace millions of people, cause economic losses, and damage ecosystems. Locally, this impacts my community by increasing the risk of flooding and property damage, which could result in higher insurance costs and strain on emergency services. Globally, the situation demands coordinated international efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and develop adaptation strategies. The article reinforces that climate change is not a distant issue but a present and escalating crisis affecting everyone. It is essential that policy makers, businesses, and individuals work together to implement solutions to mitigate the impacts of rising sea levels and preserve our planet for future generations.
