Abstract/Contents

Abstract: This essay won or received an honorable mention for The Boothe Prize for excellence in first-year writing. The Boothe Prize recognizes and rewards outstanding expository and argumentative writing by undergraduate students in the first-year Writing and Rhetoric classes, Integrated Learning Environments, and Thinking Matters programs. In each award-winning essay, student writers demonstrate clarity of argument, excellent integration of research-based evidence, and compelling prose style. In this essay, Langston Nashold examines shifts in climate change rhetoric that made it such a polarizing issue by the late 1990s; he then offers solutions to facilitate positive change in the climate rhetoric, thereby shaping public opinion and influencing public policies.
