What the News Has to Say About Global Warming

As global warming becomes more and more of an issue, the news has started to talk about it. According to The New York Times, they feel that "Global warming [is] becom[ing] perhaps the most complicated issue facing world leaders" (New).  As we burn more and more greenhouses gases, such as carbon dioxide, our atmosphere is becoming more and warmer. This is due to the fact that the heat is not able to get out of the earth atmosphere causing the air to become warmer. The issue of global warming first appeared as "Global talks on climate change... in CancĂșn, Mexico... late in 2010" and due to this conferences globally have started to appear on how the issue can be resolved (New).  Though now dramatic measure have been taken yet, the issue has caught our representatives eye here in the United States. President Obama says "that he would put the United States on a path to addressing climate change by reducing emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas pollutants" (New). Some small steps have been taken such as the "the Environmental Protection Agency imposed its first regulations related to greenhouse gas emissions" (New). These regulations will help the US move to a more healthier earth and hopefully reduce the issue of global warming. Global warming is something that we can help reduce. If small steps such as recycling and find ways to mobilize without burning fossil feuls, we can make our earth a beautiful planet.
