Politicians

There is only one main thing in the news right now: politicians running for presidential candidacy. All these politicians promise many things: Medicare, Medicaid, peace, war, weapons, etc... None of these people have said anything about pollution or the environment. haven't heard anything about it, at least. Have you?
Here is an article from NPR about global warming. I actually found lots of articles on that website...

http://www.npr.org/2011/12/07/143302823/what-countries-are-doing-to-tackle-climate-change?ps=rs
But that last article-- the countries with the MOST carbon dioxide emissions aren't doing anything!!!!!!!! They are the ones who should be trying the hardest!!!!!!!!!!!



 For now, that's about it. See you soon!

  1. These are interesting. It's certainly an issue that these larger countries are not on board!

    While snooping around npr, I found this article that gives some small hope that Obama will continue to fight for our environment as long as he is in office.
