Increasing the amount of global environmental education is vital to make the progress in creating a more sustainable environment. Environmental education is significant because it raises the awareness and the knowledge of basic environmental matters in adults and children. Teaching individuals basic environmental knowledge will improve sustainability, equity, independence, and responsibility. Teaching environmental stewardship/sustainability has positive results because children learn and maintain information better if taught at a young age. Children have a desire to learn, and by sharing information in their adolescent years, they are more likely to retain habits at an older age.

The climate and seasons go through natural changes also. “In general, climate changes prior to the Industrial Revolution in the 1700s can be explained by natural causes, such as changes in solar energy, volcanic eruptions, and natural changes in greenhouse gas concentrations” (EPA). There are many economic, psychological, and even metaphysical reasons why some do not “believe” in climate change. Some think that the costs are too high to fix, that climate change consequences are horrible to think about, and that nothing bad is going to happen to our earth. People are in denial about what is actually occurring. When arguing against global warming, natural causes are the most common reason for being against it, because some believe that is strictly natural verses increased by human activity. When you compare Republicans and Democrats, Republications are more likely to be skeptical of global warming, but when did weather because an issue in political elections. Even though ninety-seven percent of the scientific community believes in climate change, the media gives it a bad reputation (Liberty Voice). In other countries besides the United States, the idea of climate change is more exercised and not as much as a sore subject. Global warming should not be about politics or broadcasted media, it should be about looking at the facts on global warming and being aware what it happening and why it is
