The text describes the authors experience and connection to the mountains in
Seattle. After connecting the author connects this experience to the effect global warming
could have on the area. The text describes the current concerns of climate scientists.
The text could point to the scholarly article sooner in the text. For me, the text
gave enough exposition and introduction of the author into the text after paragraph one.
Once the scholarly article is mentioned, the writer appears to be wrapping up the text.
There is brief discussion of the dispute. The knowledge front is well explained, but the
relevance of the audience to the text as well could be present.
Some quick proofreading could help with small spelling errors (ex. rally instead
of really) or grammar mistakes. In the text, the use of this or that could be
replaced.
