Quote 4

"All across the world, in every kind of environment and region known to man, increasingly dangerous weather patterns and devastating storms are abruptly putting an end to the long-running debate over whether or not climate change is real. Not only is it real, it's here, and its effects are giving rise to a frighteningly new global phenomenon: the man-made natural disaster."
Barack Obama

I thought this quote coming from the President of the United States was powerful.  Then I read another quote from a previous President of the United States, and it made me enjoy this quote even more.  Barack Obama is saying that the argument of whether or not climate change is real is starting to come to an end.  It is becoming a dead end road for those people who keep fighting this issue, and continue claiming that it is “bull shit”.  Scientists that support the idea that global warming is real are beginning to pull ahead in the race to prove which side is real and which side is fake.  Barack Obama refers to “devastating storms” being tied in with global warming.  I like how Barack said “…Not only is it real, it’s here…”.  Many people refer to global warming as a man-made disaster, and I couldn’t agree more.  I think that the Earth is going through some natural changes as well, and I think that people like to blame climate change solely on the fact that some of it is occurring naturally.  But the human impact on global warming is real, and serious, and it is not the natural changes in the Earth that is going to cause species to become extinct, and make the oceans flood the lands.  I like the quote by Barack, because if somebody’s words are going to be words of encouragement for the American country to take action against global warming, it is going to be his.
