In the article, "Will Climate Change Get Some
Respect Now?" written by Nicholas D. Kristof they talk about the climate
changes and how neither one of the campaign members wanted to talk about it.
Many people say that hurricane sandy put Obama at a
big advantage.
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo stated to Obama
"we have 100-year floods every two years now." and NY times did get
observation that the 10 biggest floods in Manhattan have happened over a 3 year
time period. This has happened last in 1900.
The New York times tell people to get themselves
ready because of all of the harms that they cause people and the environment
surrounding them.
A reporter from the National Climatic Data Center
states, "10 of the warmest summers on record for the contiguous United
States, seven have happened since 2000." the recent summer drought in the
US are one of them.
DailyClimate.org reported that the amount of
climate articles have gone down 41% in the years 2009-2011. Politicians have
not paid attention enough.
Cleaner energy need to be restored. The past
hurricane sandy has ruined many places along the shore. Cleaner energy can be
restored if people do not build on these sites that were messed up. Also carbon
gasses are a big effect on the climate. If people cut down on the use of
greenhouse gasses that will be a big help.
Democrats and republicans are not paying any
attention to this. This is not like any candidate because the Republicans brag
on about how they are so ready for the worst situations.
The climate on earth is acting up and it’s not
good. It isn't how it used to be, and when the republicans and democrats don’t pay
attention to, neither do the people. When we as people aren’t paying attention
we are setting ourselves up for something that we will not be expecting. It
could be another bad hurricane or something worse. Our climate needs to be paid
attention to today, not in the future so we can regret it.
Good post Desiree. If people start paying attention, what is it that you think they should do? 100
