A turning point on global warming

Global warming is a very serious issue now more than ever. Global warming is happening, it is evident, and humans are causing it. According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the greenhouse gases that are released by humans during normal activities accounts for 90 percent of the observed damages. Global warming can also be blamed for the threatening of the polar bear species. Global warming is a serious issue that needs to be confronted.

Our actions taken in the next few years are very crucial. Global warming is very serious and steps need to be taken to remedy the problem immediately. If we fail to take action and start reducing greenhouse emissions soon we could be risking the future of America.

As the climate gets warmer tropical ecosystems are expanding. This expansion could introduce new diseases. The warmer climate and hotter air will increase the pollution. Those with asthma will be at a greater risk because of increased pollution.

To remedy the problem John McCain along with Joe Lieberman have proposed the Climate Stewardship and Innovation Act. This would harness the power of the free market and the engine of American innovation to reduce the nation’s greenhouse gas emissions. If put into action soon enough hopefully the Act will be able to change the path that global warming is taking.

McCain believes that we can no longer afford to ignore the issue of global warming. America has been blessed with a wonderful environment. McCain is committed to clean air, water, and protecting our environment. Through the Climate Stewardship and Innovation Act, McCain is standing by his views on global warming.
