According to the
article, Americans are divided concerning the issues of global warming; more recently
referred to as climate change, and have been for decades now. American attitudes
toward climate change and global warming range from “Al Gore-level panic, over
rising sea levels” to “skepticism about the accuracy of scientific models used
to explain how manufactured C02 affects global temperatures.”
Many environmentalists
have been asking Americans their opinions on global warming and climate change
for more than a decade now. It only
seems that in the past few recent years’ public concern may actually be
increasing. This increase in concern about climate change more than likely is fueled
by the culture of fear many Americans now live in, never the less, it has
eyebrows rising not only in the United Stated but also across the entire globe.
For example, take for instance the past
year’s tsunami that struck the shores of Japan. This event had many up in arms;
they were scared to death, because some media reports said that the Tsunami was
a result of global warming. Everyone knows that you cannot believe everything
you hear reported on the news and television, but many Americans still grew a
greater concern.
Scientist drew correlations between global
warming and weather patterns. Now more and more American citizens are pushing laws
to control global heating greenhouse gases. They have even agreed that the government
should step in and fund research and subsidies for clean energy and related
products. According to the article, concern
for this issue is now around 63%. “Although, less than half of Americans still
think observed global warming in the past 150 years is due to human activities.”
There are many theories about global warming. But the political reality of it all is that the White
House Administration will need to impose tough and expensive regulations on local gas companies if we
really want to see a change is CO2 emissions into our atmosphere.
