The article “Mitigation” from the Australian Government- Department of Climate Change, stresses the importance of global participation in the reduction of carbon emissions, to slow down global warming. Although it is vital that all countries participate and take mitigation responsibilities, the article mentions that the world cannot the poorest countries to take such great responsibilities upon themselves. On the other hand there are some very easy steps that these less developed countries could take to reduce their excessive carbon emissions. The article frequently uses jargon and alliteration to convince the reader its opinion. The article uses a very demeaning and almost arrogant tone when it speaks of the developing nations and their incapability’s to contribute to a climate improvement. Australia seems to be very confident with its plan and believes that developed and developing countries need to work together to achieve the common goal of sustainability.
