Poor Polar Bears.....


Global Warming is a very serious topic and should be paid close attention to. NRDC defines Global Warming as “Carbon dioxide and other air pollution that is collecting in the atmosphere like a thickening blanket, trapping the sun's heat and causing the planet to warm up. Coal-burning power plants are the largest U.S. source of carbon dioxide pollution -- they produce 2.5 billion tons every year. Automobiles, the second largest source, create nearly 1.5 billion tons of CO2 annually.” There are many different results from the temperature becoming a few degrees warmer like glacier becoming nonexistent, stronger weather such as storms, drought, chain reaction of the food chain. What can we do to lessen global warming?

That is where the national government comes in! I think that the national government should intervene on this matter because it is a serious matter where they would make laws against the types of cars, power plants, or people who pollute our earth. Give grants to inventors to make have them make life efficient and try to repair our ozone. The people that oppose this idea are auto makers and power plant people. I totally understand the view of the auto makers because they already have products on the market that need to sale. Unfortunately, they are killing the earth with their stubbornness. It not like they won’t get the money they will lose back three fold by going with cars that run clean. We should take the lead and be an example for other countries. Polar bears will have no glacier to sit on while drinking Coca-Cola, and that is a very sad thought.
