Global Warming



Since I was a child I have been concerned about the environment.  However, as I grew older, I forgot about everything I had learned about global warming as a child because it was something I never learned about in school.  However, in class, we read an article from Rolling Stone magazine called "Global Warming's Terrifying New Math", which made me remember why I had always been so concerned about the environment. The article states the facts about the true dangers of global warming.

To me, the most concerning part about global warming is how unconcerned politicians are about this extremely pressing matter. Understandable, politicians have important concerns, such as the economy and wars to focus on, but if the issue of global warming is not addressed, there will soon be no point caring about anything else, because the world will be on its way to destruction. The article states that "Barack Obama didn't even attend" an extremely important environmental summit. If government officials are unwilling to show their concern about global warming, average citizens will never understand how severe the problem actually is. Without the support of politicians to change the amount of pollution we are emitting into the environment, average citizens will continue to pollute as much as they already do and no one will be motivated to research efficient ways to solve the problem.

Personally, I think global warming is one of the most concerning problems affecting society. If the issue is not fixed, the human population will begin to die out due to severe heat and lack of water. Politicians need to begin focusing more on global warming if they want to save the world from destruction. Furthermore, without their strong support for global warming research, people will never know the damage they are doing to the world just by living their every day lives. Humans are literally destroying the word and no one is doing anything to stop it.
