Explanation:

you'd need to explore the connotations of the noun 'warning' it connotes deterrence and message. the purpose of an author is usually to spread a message so the author has deliberately started the passage with 'warning' to reassure the reader that they are here to bring the message, it could also be used to emphasise the dramatic his intended audience are as the warning also holds dramatic connotations, it could also allow the reader to relate with the author as they could both be seen as overly dramatic
