This gets the readers attention.
e.g. Catastrophic climate change, species could face extinction
hyperbole makes the audience fearful and want to take action
Use of facts and figures
e.g. 150 thousand people dying each year.
by 2100 the planet will likely to be hotter than it has ever been.

Use of short paragraphs makes for easy reading.
It's not all negative, the website balances exaggeration and drama with hope and encouraging us as readers to take action to stop climate change.
e.g. together we can stop it.
"If we start cutting our emission now..." this shows us as readers how we can solve climate change, so the article isn't all negative
It has positive selections in it.
