Can a topic, such as Global Warming, have an ethos?

Question

I think over the last few years it has developed a situated ethos with Americans. Is that absurd?

Answer 1

I guess I could agree, or at least acknowledge the possibility, if you were suggesting that Americans have a situated ethos regarding the topic of global warming, but how can the topic itself express an attitude?

Answer 2

Yes it can the power of persuasions is not to be taken lightly. The Converse Ideology is one response to that, and can be seen In (Prewitts 1982),pg 6...definition of how science and politics should explain to the masses what science should be.

Answer 3

They have a product called ethos that helps gas mileage to prevent global warming, talk about persuasion.
