Passage 1<\/p>\n

As I sit down to write this column, one thing keeps coming to me over and over: \u201cNow is the<\/p>\n

time; now is the time.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the New Testament the word used for this type of time is kairos. It means \u201cright or<\/p>\n

opportune moment.\u201d It is contrasted with chronos, or chronological time as measured in<\/p>\n

seconds, days, months, or years. In the New Testament kairos is usually associated with<\/p>\n

decisive action that brings about deliverance or salvation.<\/p>\n

The reason the phrase, \u201cNow is the time\u201d kept coming to me over and over is that I was<\/p>\n

thinking of how to describe our current climate change moment.<\/p>\n

The world has been plodding along in chronological time on the problem of climate<\/p>\n

change since around 1988. No more.<\/p>\n

Simply put: the problem of climate change has entered kairos time; its kairos moment<\/p>\n

has arrived. How long will it endure? Until the time of decisive action to bring about<\/p>\n

deliverance comes\u2014or, more ominously, until the time when the opportunity for decisive<\/p>\n

action has passed us by. Which will we choose? Because we do have a choice.<\/p>\n

Passage 2<\/p>\n

[Another action that Americans must take to combat global warming is to transition] to a clean-<\/p>\n

energy economy in a just and equitable way. Global warming is among the greatest challenges<\/p>\n

of our time, but also presents extraordinary opportunities to harness home-grown clean energy<\/p>\n

sources and encourage technological innovation. These bold shifts toward a clean energy future<\/p>\n

can create hundreds of thousands of new jobs and generate billions of dollars in capital<\/p>\n

investment. But in order to maximize these benefits across all sectors of our society,<\/p>\n

comprehensive global warming legislation must auction emission allowances to polluters and<\/p>\n

use these public assets for public benefit programs.<\/p>\n

Such programs include financial assistance to help low and moderate-income<\/p>\n

consumers and workers offset higher energy costs as well as programs that assist with<\/p>\n

adaptation efforts in communities vulnerable to the effects of climate change. Revenue<\/p>\n

generated from emissions allowances should also aid the expansion of renewable and efficient<\/p>\n

energy technologies that quickly, cleanly, cheaply, and safely reduce our dependence on fossil<\/p>\n

fuels and curb global warming. Lastly, it is absolutely vital that comprehensive global warming<\/p>\n

legislation not preempt state authority to cut greenhouse gas emissions more aggressively than<\/p>\n

mandated by federal legislation.<\/p>\n

QUESTIONS:<\/p>\n

1. How do the strategies of persuasion differ in these two passages? Explain these<\/p>\n

differences in terms of targeted audience, original genre, writer\u2019s purpose, and<\/p>\n

writer\u2019s angle of vision.<\/p>\n

2. How would you describe the relationship between logos and pathos in each text?<\/p>\n

3. How would you describe the writer\u2019s style in each?<\/p>\n

4. How effective would either argument be for readers outside the intended audience?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
