Climate Change


I believe that climate change is a combination of anthropogenic habits and natural.  I believe that the climate change is a natural process, however, human habit may have dedicated to an increasing speed in this process.  Deciding who or what is a reputable source for climate change information is very difficult due to the many different view points on this issue and biased information.   

Climate change is a huge political issue and different sources offer a multitude of different information.  A reputable source on climate change to me is a legitimate website such as http://www.epa.gov/climatechange/, which is the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.  This website is from a national agency with scientifically backed information, and not politically biased information. In the media, climate control is portrayed as a huge global issue that can be stopped with the use of government money and lifestyle changes.  


 I believe that it is a natural change and investing large amounts of government money into this issue will not bring back the results expected, and instead that money should be used towards current issues that can produce benefits.  I have made several lifestyle changes that are thought to help the issue of climate control and I believe that if everyone can make these lifestyle changes, it is more beneficial than pouring government money into it.  Climate control may greatly effect future generations, however, with adaptations to the change, I don’t think it will be as large of a global issue, and should rather be accepted.
