What I find interesting are the many people in the survey who feel global warming will not affect them personally. That’s crazy! Global warming has already affected them from more intense and extreme weather and storm events as well as increased sea level rise along the coastal zone. This will only intensify over time if something is not done to cut carbon, methane and other green House gases. Americans overwhelmingly believe that global warming is happening, and that carbon emissions should be scaled back. But fewer are sure that the changes will harm them personally. New data released by Yale researchers gives the most detailed view yet of public opinion on global warming.

I strongly agree with this blog! Climate change is really happening and very much true! We can see what's happening to our world, but some of us is pretending they are not affected by it. Green house gases getting worse every day, the pollution is getting worse every day. The smoke from our cars to our daily products it affects our world. The lack of discipline when it comes to waste management is really a big problem. We should take care of our world.
