Talking More About Climate Change

Today in Human Geo we talked about climate change again. We talked about how a lot of people don't believe in it and don't think it's real. More like, they don't want to believe it's real. We came up with some reasons why people may think that way. I think people just don't want to be wrong. I think that they don't want to blame themselves for using all these fossil fuels and a lot of electricity and energy and things that cause a lot of exhaust. Big companies don't want to say it's a real thing because they could be in risk of losing customers or getting less profits. They don't want to change their lives either, they like the way they are now. Who would stop using all that they have less just for this? *sarcasm* Seriously though, I wish more people would try. If we can use bikes and our own two feet to travel more often rather than taxis and buses and cars, and if we can use solar panels (Mr. Schick told us about the ones he has on his house. He said by using the solar panels he gets the use out of everything as he would if he were not using them, and he only pays a little less than a thousand each year, rather than the almost 4,000 he would while not using solar panels.) Climate change is real (Bill Nye even said so) and we should think of it as an issue. We shouldn't be like the companies we read about that said climate change wasn't a problem/that it doesn't matter. We should actually act like they were behind closed doors and recognize this change as a problem, as it will effect us, the oceans, land, and possibly our country in the future when we are ready to live on our own.
