Global Warming

We recently watched Al Gore's movie "An Inconvenient Truth" about global warming. Although I do not neccessarily love Al Gore, I think that his movie really made a difference in raising awareness about global warming. Many people thought it was a phenomenon, and Al Gore put alot of effort into the movie to change the mind of people. I also was interested in the Kyoto Protocol, which is a treaty that every country except the United States has signed to "stabilize greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere at a level at a that would prevent dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system." The only other place awaiting to ratify Kyoto was Australia, which as of today signed the agreement. Once the new prime minister took oath, it was the first thing he did. George Bush refuses to sign a treaty that will decrease the income of the country. He wants to look for a different way of curving global warming. So far, there is no way except to reduce our carbon emission. The United States is one of the top countries responsible for global warming, and people still refuse to see that. Everyday, I read atleast 3 articles in a single newspaper about global warming. Global warming is causing ecosystems to collapse and the animals who live in it to suffer. Although many people think that this has nothing to do with us, it does. If the United States does not ratify Kyoto, global warming affect us sooner than later, and we will all face the consequences of this issue.
