climate change


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.
