"Global Warming Heats Up"

In the New York Times article published in March of 2006, Kluger restates global warming as “a living thing fighting a fever.” Instead of an outright statement depicting what global warming is, Kluger describes global warming by measuring the toll it has taken on our Earth. The article begins by showing (literally) the retreat of the Upsala glacier in Argentina from 1928 to 2004, and throughout the article, outlines the natural disasters that are a result of global warming. He is not questioning the existence of global warming but rather proving it. He even states that the skeptics have confirmed that global warming is the “real deal” and we are the cause of it.
The majority of the article illustrates different events that have occurred as a result of global warming but there is an underlying issue that Kluger is hinting at. Yes, we are causing global warming and, yes, Kruger says that MAYBE we can begin to reverse the changes with a multigenerational commitment of reduced output per year but what Kluger would really like to see is a change in politics. He says that it takes public stirrings in order to draw their attention. Kluger’s real solution to global warming is to “wait out this administration and hope for something better in 2009.”
