Will They Finally Acknowledge The Climate Changes?

   In the article "Will Climate Change Get Some Respect Now" by Nicholas D. Kristof, he states how Hurricane Sandy brought some light to scientists who have overlooked climate change over the years. New Yorks' Governor Andrew Cuomo stated to Obama that it seems "we have a 100 year flood every two years now." The New York Times has reported that indeed, "three of 10 biggest floods in Lower Mathattan since 1990 have occurred in the last three years."
    This article includes quotes and facts from experts that study these types of situations such as climate control. One quote from an expert that really stood out to me was when Jake Crouch of The NCDC (National Climatic Data Center) remarked "Of the 10 warmest summers on record for the United States, seven have occurred since 2000." This quote from him shows that climate control was never really looked at though it is now and people are starting to notice this problem now.
   I think that climate change has been been pretty neglected over the years and I think its been about time for a long time that people notice the climate change. I think that they overlook it because they are kind of scared of the change and are trying to just say it is an illusion and and its not real. When people tend to be afraid of things they try to ignore it as best they can and that is really the big problem with this whole thing.
   This article makes me wonder about the climate and they way people tend to think. What is gonna happen if the climate keeps changing? Will the sun get closer and the Earth get hotter? Why do people have to turn their backs on things that scare them or things that don't interest them? Doesn't that make the problem worse for everybody by not  acknowledging it?  I could ask people what they think about these questions but then again some people may not be comfortable with answering my questions. Hopefully if I do get to ask people about these problems, I get a straight answer that will enlighten us all on this problem.
