It's terrible how many countries do nothing to help with climate change, specially since there aren't enough schools teaching little kids or teens about this topic, like here in my country.

I don't get it either, believe me. And I'm not even talking about human impacts and climate change. Just "climate change" in general is not something everyone agrees on. o_o<br /><br />There is no easy way to approach such a large issue! We don't know the implications of anything we might try to do to mitigate the problem. I think it's just gotten too big for humans to handle BUT, we can only try!<br /><br />Thank you, Kel! <3Alyssahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00128004483437247740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3634501776293792112.post-15742105318556709142016-05-15T23:32:20.731-04:002016-05-15T23:32:20.731-04:00That's awesome!

Ice ages, anyone? Or, if you want to be snarky, daily weather reports? ;) There seems to be more disagreement surrounding, specifically, how much human activity contributes to the changing climate, and in what ways, and what policies should/shouldn't be enacted.<br /><br />I like to step back and say, we can all agree less pollution is good. As far as policies, particularly from the U.S. government...that's a little murkier territory.
