Proper Respect for Mother Nature

Will Climate Change Get Some Respect Now? By Nicholas D. Kristof, Columnist, THE NY TIMES

The main idea of the article is that people feel as though climate change is not getting as much attention in debates, or interviews as it should be getting according to Nicholas D. Kristof. Now many scientist and researchers are trying to discuss how we can improve and reduce climate change.

Evidence or details I have about the main idea is in the article when talking about Gov. Andrew Cuomo of NY it says that he told President Obama "It seems we have a 100-year flood every two years now." and the NY Times did the research and found this to be indeed a fact. Another detail that can be added is that many people are already taking steps to brace themselves for hurricanes and some of the steps are to watch out for warm oceans because this can fuel the beginning of a hurricane, Another step is that computer model research suggests that hurricanes aren't becoming more frequent but they are getting more powerful and said to be getting more powerful in this century, Last but not lease researches say that hurricanes may come with more rain and flooding because climate change adds moisture to the atmosphere.

My opinion on the topic is that I think people should come to there senses and start thinking of better ways to do thing in life without risk of harming the atmosphere because all the chemicals scientists and testers use you never know what they're actually doing to the climate to harm, and change it. People are already changing to green house energy and other alternative fuels but not enough people are willing to take the commitment.

This article reminded me about how foolish some people in the world can be without all the negative news reports or negative articles because people know they're hurting the planet with the chemicals and gas they come up with yet they still continue to use that chemical or gas just to get a quick dollar in their pocket and I think that isn't right.

This article has indeed helped me to think deeper on the subject. I must say it has reminded me that having common sense is a pain in the butt because I have to deal with all the people around me today who don't have any source of common sense what so ever.

My one and only question I have about this article is how could so many people over look climate change when it's one of the most important things in the environment today?
