Climate Change

30DBC - 24th Jan - Prompt: Several media outlets have reported that 2015 was globally the warmest year in history. How does it make you feel when someone with limited scientific or meteorological knowledge tells you that climate change isn't real or shouldn't be a legitimate concern?

I don't really like to argue about things that I don't have that much knowledge about. Climate change is one such things. I do not know about the scientific ins and outs.
However, there is no denying that it is an issue and I guess it does bug me when people say it isn't an issue. Mind you, I think it annoys me more when people say, "yeah, but it's not my problem!"

It is a global problem
Therefore...
It is YOUR problem

Nonetheless, I don't have much to say about this. Nothing that I can articulate very well, anyway. So, instead, I've found a few quotes about climate change that I liked...

Climate change is happening, humans are causing it, and I think this is perhaps the most serious environmental issue facing us.

Bill Nye

The most important thing about global warming is this. Whether humans are responsible for the bulk of climate change is going to be left to the scientists, but it's all of our responsibility to leave this planet in better shape for the future generations than we found it.

Mike Huckabee

Saving our planet, lifting people out of poverty, advancing economic growth... these are one and the same fight. We must connect the dots between climate change, water scarcity, energy shortages, global health, food security and women's empowerment. Solutions to one problem must be solutions for all.
