Global Warming: The Issue Facing America

The United States has many problems facing it as a country. Global warming is the most compelling problem. Climate change, caused by global warming can decrease rainfall and make growing crops a challenge for farmers. Also global warming can affect human health and change forests and other major ecosystems. Washington State Gov. Jay Inslee, commented on the issue facing the United States. “We are the first generation to feel the sting of climate change, and we are the last generation that can do something about it” (“Global”). These striking lines, true yet frightening make many people think that this issue facing the United States should be dealt with first. Global Warming will destroy our world that is so beautiful. The cities that will be affected greatly are the ones that are poor and can’t take necessary precautions when being affected by catastrophic weather catastrophes. Global warming can affect climate change. On the EPA’s official website, it says that,”Climate change will likely increase the risk of drought in some areas and the risk of extreme precipitation and flooding in others” (“Driving”). Flooding caused by climate change can seriously affect smaller undeveloped cities near the coast in the United States. The many negative connotations that global warming brings up are getting people of the United States shaken up and worried and should be dealt with immediately.
