Response to Andrew's Blog

Andrew Zwald recently posted his blog about Global Warming and how he believes it is a fallacy. Andrew stated that politicians have personal agendas when it comes to Global Warming, and how people have different ways of looking at the issue.
I agree with Andrew that everyone has their own opinion about this issue and that everyone is entitled to have their own opinion. But, I do disagree with him in his opinion that it is a fallacy. Global Warming is a real, tangible event happening on our earth right now. It may just be caused by the earth's natural cycles or CO2 emissions that he brought up in his blog. The fact is the earth is warming, so therefore Global Warming is real. Politicians may stretch the truth more than it should be, but we all know that is their job and that is how they get paid.
Even if CO2 emissions are not the main reason behind Global Warming as some politicians may state, energy independence and environmentally friendly practices need to be implemented on a more dire basis in the US and the world. We should see this as a warning of larger problems that may lie ahead, and that if we do not stop our selfish practices now that the environment we are now taking for granted will be hurt beyond repair.
