Global Waming
Whether you believe in global warming or not, you can not deny the facts. With glaciers melting and California having more intense fires it is not hard to tell that something is wrong. The trump administration themselves have even issued a report stating how global warming is posing a threat to citizens. There was a point in time in which global warming was not as obvious and I recall people making the joke 'This is the coldest year in history, global warming can not exist'. Many people do not know that record breaking temperature drops is an direct effect of global warming and is proof that things are getting worse. As summers are getting hotter and winters are getting colder it does not seem as if the average citizen cares. Those who do care feel that them by themselves are not enough to make a difference or simply do not know how. There are many things that can be done to make a difference and reverse the effects of global warming. The media needs to make sure that people around the world are not only told the effects of global warming, but also how they can make a change. Only including the prior makes it seem as if global warming is inevitable when it truly is not.

I agree that there is a simple misunderstanding when it comes to attitudes about Climate Change. I think it stems from the long term use of the phrase "Global Warming" as a misnomer. People do not understand that one of the most significant symptoms of climate change is EXTREME weather. This could mean extreme cold, extreme heat, large super-storm hurricanes, and larger wild fires. They are all disruptive and are becoming larger and larger problems. These wildfires are the most damaging, and in turn are going to cost more to rebuild from. I cannot see how people are turning their heads at this and dismissing it as a weather fluke. Thanks for you post.
