The story on cbsnews.com titled "A Deadly Forecast" is a report on the report about global warming that says that global warming, mostly because of us human beings, is causing large and swift climate changes. Rising temperatures (and they will contintue to rise according to this report) will cause rising water levels, devastating hurricanes, and tornadoes in the midwest. The story breaks the United States up into regions and goes in depth about the dangers in each region. However, there are of course various reactions to the report, from those who think that it gives us the harsh truth about global warning, to those who think that this report is not based on scientific fact.
Even though global warming is not the most refreshing subject in the news today, this story swiftly engages the viewer to watching, thanks in large to the great editing by the people at CBS. For one, natural sound helps the reporter's story more engaging. Through a wide spectrum of video, from a closeup of a brown field, to an iceberg crashing into the water, the viewer is kept watching. To add emphasis to the consequences of global warming, natural sound is used in the form of sirens wailing through downtown Chicago. To stress the point that humans are to cause for this, the story allows the viewer to hear the cars idling along a scorching and crowded highway.
The sounds and the video of the story tell the story of "global warming" just as much as the reporter does. This is what makes this story on a cliche subject such as global warming interesting and worth the two minutes and 20 seconds.
