Global Warming, not just a story anymore

I do agree that global warming has become a big problem the past years, even decades. The US government still refuses to admit to any sort of problem. I believe though that if something isn't done about the issue soon, we could be out of luck for our future generations. They are going to be the ones dealing with the problem, but that's what we as American's tend to do. Push issues to the side and ignore them.

So what if there's a hole in the Ozone and what does it have to do with me? So what if there's a rapid climate change because I rather enjoy the warmer weather. As I said before, if we don't concentrate on the environment as one of our main issues, we'll be out of luck.

Barry's Response - Maybe you're being a little hard on your fellow countrymen, Jessica, and maybe not. Some nations have done a little more to curtail their global environmental effects, but only some.

What did Barrack Obama's administration do about it during his presidency? "...we risk consigning future generations to an irreversible catastrophe...the time we have to reverse this tide is running out." Sounds like a serious take on the issue. They were all for immediate action on it. All the specifics I have uncovered so far is the implementation of GHG credits, not exactly a new idea. Let's hope the revenue generated goes towards generating good ideas.
