Global Warming

     Global warming has caused lots of destruction across the nation. There had been a devastating drought and flooding in the Midwest and destructive wildfires in Colorado and California. Coastal communities are threatened by predicted sea leave rise.  Carbon pollution is primarily known for Global warming and the largest single source of this global warming pollution is power plants, these power plants are responsible for 40% of carbon emissions nationally. Carbon pollution is so dangerous because  carbon pollution comes from burning fossil fuels like coal and oil. This increases the intensity and frequency of extreme weather events ranging from droughts and wildfires to hurricanes and severe flooding. On Thursday October 16,2014 about 540 solar industry leaders from hundreds of businesses issued a letter to the white house, asking for limits on carbon pollution from power plants and advocating that solar energy should become our main point. On June 2, 2014, the environmental protection agency proposed a clean power plan to finally limit carbon pollution from power plants. "The Clean Power Plan sets targets for 49 states to reduce carbon from their power plants by investing renewable energy and energy efficiency, cleaning up existing power plants, and switching to cleaner fuels." "This is the largest action the U.S. has ever taken on climate, and exactly the leadership we need in order to influence other nations to reduce their own carbon emissions." "“World leaders could not have a starker choice: the people in the streets or the polluters in the board rooms. America can lead the way on climate action by finalizing a strong Clean Power Plan that limits carbon from the biggest global warming polluters and speeds the shift to a 100 percent renewable energy future.”

       I am with president Obama on the issue on global warming and how he planned on changing it. President Obama came up with a Clean Power Plan, which actually i think would be great for this nation, this plan will reduce the carbon pollution and it will help the nation to have renewable and clean energy for people to breathe in. Yes i do agree with our government that global warming isnt just a little problem in fact its a world problem which we are little behind in solving it and its all because of pollution, we can make this nation or this world a better place to live by reducing power plants, staying on natural energy, and by voting for candidates who would do something to change the environment just like Obama.
