-What claim is being made?
Washington is ignoring the climate problems, such as global warming, that are affecting our earth.

-What type of claim is this?
The political cartoon is portraying a claim of value.

-What type of appeals or evidence is used to support this?
I believe the cartoon is making a appeal to ones ethos and pathos. In that it is questioning the governments ethos while at the same time evoking the viewers pathos or emotions on the subject.
