Currently in class we are talking about analysis of environmental problems and how to go about looking at problems. One specific issue being looked at is climate change. Many reports today on climate change sound the alarm for large immediate changes and can be intimidating and scary. Sometimes I find it difficult to push through the news and have a positive outlook. Even with all the scary research being conducted it seems as though in politics, especially with our current president the warning are being ignored. Each time a new article comes out everything seems to get more and more complicated. Things like banning straws may be a positive change but we are still being hit with much larger issues it seems. The ball now seems as though it lays in our court. It is now our duty to take in all this information being thrown at us. For class this week we read, “Major Climate Report Describes a Strong Risk of Crisis as Early as 2040,” a piece in the New York Times. With threats as strong as these we have to remain open to new information we get in an attempt to possibly adapt. Something that could have this severe of consequences must be taken serious and action will also have to be taken upon receiving this information. We will need to decide what type of approach we are currently taking and if that can be altered or improved upon. Once we do this it is possible to reflect upon our analysis. We can look at the questions we had and possibly change them to address new questions or problems we found. Bottom line is each day new information on topics such as these come in and it has become our job to riffle through and start, even if a small step like straws, to make good decisions for a better future. “Major Climate Report Describes a Strong Risk of Crisis as Early as 2040 - The New York Times.” Accessed October 18, 2018. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/07/climate/ipcc-climate-report-2040.html.
