In the article, Chicago is described as being “…at the forefront of the green-roof movement” with other cities moving quickly to
catch up. How do the following sentences conflict with this point of view?
“Those 500 green roofs represent a little less than one-tenth of 1 percent of Chicago’s…buildings. By comparison, experts in Germany said that in 2010, 15-20 percent of the flat roofs in that country were green.”
How do these sentences compare to the overall tone of the articles? How does it impact the mood?
The tone of the article is contradicting as it clearly states that on one hand it is claimed that Chicago will be the forefront of the green roof movement while on the other hand it shows the existing scenario in Chicago as per which only one tenth of the 1% of the Chicago's building have green roof.
