Climate Change Affects Us All

Many recent studies have proven that are planet is enduring massive climate changes. Climate change is a dangerous threat that has been increasing for many years. There are scientists that suggest the climate changes we are seeing are due to pollution caused by man. The climate change in recent years show that our temperatures are rising. This does not mean that all of the planet is facing warmer temperatures. In fact many places on earth are experiencing extreme cold temperatures and that can bring more snowfall than usual. It is unfortunate that there are many elected officials, most seem to be republicans, who do not believe the scientific evidence and choose to ignore record temperatures. The current democratic president is urging both the House of Representatives and the Senate to pass legislation that will help prevent further climate change and transition our current energy sources to cleaner sources. However, this process has been delayed due to the politicians who choose to treat climate change as a political disadvantage to them for reasons unknown to the general public.

The conservatives who do not believe that there are dangerous climate changes, promote their views by choosing to only use the term “global warming”. They might be doing this because when there are snow storms or extreme cold temperatures in certain places, they can make climate change advocates look unintelligent by saying that temperatures are still lower in many cities around the world. The recent climate changes we see in our world suggest that we are experiencing global warming. Scientists have explained that when temperatures rise, the rate of evaporation increases, causing more snow than usual in some parts of the world. There has also been another theory that the glaciers and polar ice caps that are located near Greenland are melting and the ice cold water is flowing into the Atlantic Ocean. It is well known that temperatures are influenced by the surrounding oceans or large bodies of water. If oceans are filled with ice water, the weather will reflect that. This could be why climate changes are producing colder temperatures in some places. However, conservative politicians choose to ignore this part of explanation and focus strictly on the term global warming. Many people cannot understand why these politicians and critics of climate changes are turning this issue into another republican vs democrat political argument.

Advocates of climate change are doing their best to spread their message, but there is a lot more that needs to be done. Climate change does not just affect democrats or republicans or even any other political party; it affects the entire world. Everyone should be a supporter of making this world a cleaner and safer place.
