The future of eating ice cream.

As I was scrolling through the various articles the article that caught my attention was titled “Report: Climate Change To Force People To Double Ice Cream Consumption Speed by 2050”. Personally I am a big ice cream lover so the topic of this article was urgent to me as the contents of it will affect my future and the future of many other people who also love ice cream. In the report it mentions that if greenhouse gasses rise at the expected omission rate everyone on the globe who eats ice cream will have to adapt to a new way of eating ice cream or have to face the consequences of drippy ice cream that will cause their hands, faces and clothes to become very sticky. In the report it states that the only way we can prevent this catastrophe from occurring is by reducing our CO2 emission on a global scale. This presence of pathos is shown in this article reaches to the reader’s compassion when it discusses on how if we don’t slow down the emission of CO2 our grandchildren might not be able to ever truly enjoy their ice cream. The pathos makes the reader worry about the enjoyments the future generations will miss out on and the struggles they themselves will have in the future. There is ethos presented in the article also when it mentions in the beginning of the report came from the Environmental Protection Agency; when we see the source of this claim came from a government agency it makes the article more credible and trustworthy. The logos is shown when the article basses its argument off the fact that climate temperatures have been rising and due to the fact that the rate at which ice cream melts depends on the temperature its placed in makes the argument logical; if temperatures keep rising due to CO2 emission it is plausible that ice cream will melt more rapidly and become difficult to enjoy.

    Nice work identifying ethos, logos, and pathos in this analysis, Yemaj. And good use of examples, like the supposed EPA citation. Pointing out why the article jumped out at you is a good entry-point for analysis.

    I’m wondering how your analysis would develop by taking genre and purpose into account–this is a fake-news article meant to entertain, so what is the audience supposed to be picking up on or laughing at? What assumptions is the humorist making about the audience that would make this a funny article? Or do they miss the mark?
