The Daily Show's "Burning Sensation"
Claim: The government and current administration lacks to have developed a response to the issue of Global Warming, often times saying that it may not even be an issue.
Evidence: Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change - "The expectation would be that if we keep emitting Greenhouse Gases at current rates we will see bigger changes in this current century than we did in the last century."
Warrants: The evidence the video provides is a credible video source.

Humor: Using the groundhog from "Groundhog" day to show us how animals - creatures that are very aware of their surroundings (not to mention that the groundhog does foretell the fate of winter) - are responding.
Personification: Creating the groundhog to have a person's voice and name.
Juxtaposition: First, Jon Stewart shows that the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (an international scientific group) trying to address and fix problems about global warming. Then, he shows American scientists in a food kitchen, hinting at the problem that Americans are more concerned about what they eat (and if it tastes good!) than the future of our planet.
