It is not too late start caring

April 25, 2016 by Archived posts 535 Comments

By Destiny Guzman |Staff Writer| Global warming threatens our current existence and our future generations. I believe that this problem is irreversible, but I do not believe that we should just sit around and do nothing about it. "We need to basically stop burning carbon faster than the earth can store it," said lecturer and past Air Force meteorologist Ross McIntosh.
