This article talked about the effect of global warming and how they have been affecting much of our weather. Many different areas of the world have o change their weather maps because its getting even more hot through the years. Australia had to add a new color to there weather map which was royal purple. The royal purple indicates the 50 degrees that Australia has gotten, which in Fahrenheit it is 120 degrees. These heat waves have gotten so bad that 2012 was known to be the hottest year so far. This is bad because it is happening all over the world not just Australia, This has happen because of fossil fuel combustion and global warming is getting worst. The new goal to fix this problem is "reduce greenhouse gas emissions to restrain future warming or even begin to draw down carbon dioxide
concentrations in the atmosphere."
I chose this article because the title catches my eye " What would it take to solve climate change?" This article cached my eye because it made me think really what would it take, would people have to be more focus and use less resources. This made me think that it is true we are raising the climate so much what is going to happen to earth we need to be careful of what we did and have in this earth. What was interesting to e what that a lot of the countries had to actually add a new color to their weather map because of how much the weather has risen. This can actually relate to the Lorax as well because in the book the temperatures did not rise their was a lot of pollution in the area but it relates because it makes me think that maybe in the future many animals are going to have to leave their areas and migrate because we are running out of places to put them because we ruin their homes.
I think that the next steps are the same as the other which is to take care more of the earth. We need to find a way to reduce carbon dioxide in the atmosphere because we don't notice but it causes more problems to our health. This is a significant article because it helps realize how much more the weather has risen it helps us see that this "little" carbon dioxide we have contributed to the earth is actually very harmful.
