Answer and Explanation:
Wade Anderson wanted to touch on an important point with his article "The Musks Embrace The Challenge Of Climate Change" and emphasize the importance that we, human beings, have in preserving nature.
First of all, it does this, through the context that when we destroy nature, we destroy ourselves, for that it shows how evidence of how the oxygen we need is completely supplied by nature. This makes it urgent to protect it. This urgency is what Anderson uses with supporting details that contribute to the persuasive purpose of the writer, who wants to warn that nature is running out, we are causing it, but we have to change our habits urgently.
