response to global warming reading

As the United States being the largest consumer of energy and the largest producer of carbon emissions, it is an absolute disgrace that we as a nation have just recently put caps on our carbon emissions. With the melting of the polar ice caps and the heating of the earth’s atmosphere, there is no way that you can put your political ideologies in comparison to scientific research. Reading this summary has only solidified my belief that global warming is in fact real and is occurring in our lifetime. By making more energy efficient appliances and reducing our carbon footprint, I believe that we can prevent more damage to our atmosphere. Some people may not think that the whole idea of global warming is a big deal because its effects happen slowly and over a long period of time. I feel that this is what makes the whole situation so dangerous. I believe that we have a serious problem on our hands and there are too small of a number of people involved in the efforts to make a change. I feel that if we as, not only a nation, but as a planet, do not do something to change our toxic and earth polluting ways, we will be condemning our earth as well as our future generation’s earth to certain destruction.
