The quality we can say is lacking to write a climate change essay if the author of the book has a personal interest in saving the environment is the following:

B. Objectivity

Criteria when evaluating sources

Let's briefly define each criterion:

  • Authority refers to who the author is, if he or she is qualified to talk about the subject.
  • Objectivity refers to how biased or unbiased the information provided is, that is, if the author provides opinions rather than facts.
  • Timeliness refers to how current or outdated the information provided is.
  • Finally, accuracy refers to how reliable the information is and whether it can be verified.

With the definitions above in mind, we can say the nonfiction book lacks B. objectivity. The author has a personal interest in saving the environment, which means the information is most likely biased in order to persuade readers of his perspective.
