Two weeks ago, California governor Jerry Brown ordered mandatory statewide restrictions on water use for the first time in the states history. California is currently going through severe drought, and has been for four years now. What California has, is going on throughout many of the world. Lack of clean fresh water is a problem in many underdeveloped countries. Scientists have recently argued if the drought was caused by climate change. A National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration author said firmly that it is not.
This is related to AP Gov because climate change is a very controversial topic in our government. Also, the article stated that drought is one of the leading conflicts causing the Syrian war.
In my opinion, climate change is happening. However, in my human geography class, we learned that climate change is a reoccurring event in our atmosphere. We are currently in the Holocene which is a "warming period", eventually, we will go back into a cooling period.
I agree that there is a current climate change and that it is just a part of a natural cycle. Interesting article!
ReplyDeleteI agree Anna. Climate change is naturally occurring and has been going on for as long as Earth has existed. Good article!
ReplyDeleteAnna, I also agree and am currently learning the same thing! I think that the climate is continunly changing and that there isn't anything we can do to stop it.
