This week I watched a video discussing about the severe climate changes happening over the last few months due to the jet streams location. This is causing the lasting drought and warm weather on the western coast while causing major rain and snow storm on the eastern coast of the US. Though climate change has gotten a lot of talk in recent times, I still do not believe it is taken as seriously as it needs to be. I believe it would be wise, and if possible to try and come up with alternative/options to help counter these ongoing events. It is seriously damaging our country, peoples lives and the economy. if something isn't done t help alleviate the hardships by the climate, we could easily find ourselves in deeper trouble then we are now in the next one to two years.
The second video I watched simply expands on the first video above. The US though is not the only one experiencing these drastic climate changes. This second video does also touch up other reasons or causes for these changes. Stating the well know "human affect", which I am sure we do have an affect on the climate, but human in my opinion are merely one aspect of the cause. Some stuff we can not control, as it has been shown extreme climates like these happen every so often. But yes, we should clean up our act all the same, simply to just make a cleaner environment to live in for ourselves and for future people. As I mentioned in the above paragraph, we need to find alternate sources and slowly move ourselves off of the current way we do things. Not just in the US, but hopefully around the world. It is just simply not working any longer.
