Question

read the excerpt from greta thunbergs speech at the united nations climate action summit. the claim in this excerpt is that current efforts to reduce co2 emissions are ineffective. so a 50% risk is simply not acceptable to us—we who have to live with the consequences. to have a 67% chance of staying below a 1.5 degrees global temperature rise—the best odds given by the intergovernmental panel on climate change—the world had 420 gigatons of co2 left to emit back on january 1, 2018. today that figure is already down to less than 350 gigatons. how does this excerpt make persuasive the speakers claim persuasive? it creates logos by using data and evidence on climate change. it creates kairos by including a specific date by which changes must be made in order to be effective. it creates pathos by inciting an emotional response to the low levels of co2 left to emit.
