Essay "Be Afraid, Be Very Afraid"
Central Claim: "From heat waves to storms to floods to fires to massive glacial melts, the global climate seems to be crashing around us... This is precisely what they (scientists) have been warning would happen if we continued to pump greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere, trapping the heat that flows form the sun and raising global temperatures."(p.269-270)
My Claim: "In his article, Be Worried, Be Very Worried, Jeffery Kluger makes the argument that if people don't make immediate changes to the ways we impact our ecosystem, global warming will continue to devastate the earth."
My Revised Claim: By citing specific scientific examples and appealing to the audience's emotions, Jeffery Kluger makes a strong and effective argument for the immediate need to confront global warming in his article, Be Worried, Be Very Worried.

Overall, your article was very solid. You did an excellent job in utilizing examples from the text to support your claim. The only thing that really need work was rewriting your introduction paragraph to include a stronger thesis.
Your revised claim is much stronger than the original:-)
