Politicians

There is only one main thing in the news right now: politicians running for presidential candidacy. All these politicians promise many things: Medicare, Medicaid, peace, war, weapons, etc... None of these people have said anything about pollution or the environment. haven't heard anything about it, at least. Have you?
Here is an article from NPR about global warming. I actually found lots of articles on that website...
http://www.npr.org/2011/12/21/144082145/turbulence-as-europe-passes-fee-on-plane-emissions?sc=emaf


http://www.npr.org/2009/12/11/121240453/climate-change-trends-carbon-emissions-giants


http://www.npr.org/2011/12/07/143302823/what-countries-are-doing-to-tackle-climate-change?ps=rs
But that last article-- the countries with the MOST carbon dioxide emissions aren't doing anything!!!!!!!! They are the ones who should be trying the hardest!!!!!!!!!!!



 For now, that's about it. See you soon!

How Much More Bad News?

Hi,
Here is some more bad news-- from the NASA website about how 2011 was THE WARMEST YEAR ON RECORD SINCE 1880. Here's the link:

That really stinks. When will people start noticing this? When its too late? I hope not.
And here's the cartoon on the Economist magazine about global warming and fracking:

But you have to remember-- if we start fixing our mistakes right now, we can still fix everything. It is not too late, but people have to work together to stop this.
Stay tuned.
