Everybody has an opinion about what should be done to reduce global warming effectively. My opinion is that the first thing we should start doing is to reduce the gases emitted by cars and other automobiles, that could happen by people using less cars, less often, or cars could be made with solar energy. Here in Cartagena, there are people who care a lot about what is happening in our planet. Other people couldn’t care less. When I ask someone around here what they think should be done about global warming, they don’t even know what to say, because they are not interested in the subject, but they should.

People all around the world are talking about global warming and many people are doing something about it. By walking, carpooling, using less energy, and doing many more things, people are showing that they care about their environment. In the other hand, some people continue the process that is causing global warming and make it worse, like in some places they continue polluting and exceeding too much. In the United States, they constantly show people that walk to their jobs, walk to school, they invent solar energy powered things to save electricity, and do other things just for the environment. We should all be like those people, because I have been learning that people are not like that, and just because they think it won’t affect them, it will. People mainly think that global warming won’t affect them because in the news they are always saying that in a long period of time it will happen strongly, but the truth is, it has, and it is happening strongly right now, it just might happen that they didn’t know, because they do not care what they have caused to the environment all along.

When we are in family reunions, or simple talking in dinner, we always bring up subjects like school, sports, friends, and things like that. When I try to bring up the subject of the environment, my family gets really into the conversation, and we talk a lot, often dispute about what is happening. In other families however, they don’t even talk about it, not even a little bit, as if they weren’t concerned, and I don’t think that is the right way to be acting, because we should all be concerned about our world, and what we have done to it.

In an article I read called NASA scientist rips out Bush on global warming, there was a small part of it that came to my attention, and it was the following:
“He certainly is not in denial of the existence of climate change problems,” Hansen said.
What was interesting to me about this article was that in the rest of the article, and as you can see in the title, it said that Bush wasn’t as experienced and concerned in the subject as he should be, so people were criticizing him for that.

As this is the last research report I decided not to research so much, but to write what I was seeing all along in people and global warming and people. And this is how I am concluding my report, and I hope you have liked my recent posts about global warming, because I really enjoyed doing them, because I learned a lot of things that I didn’t know before.
