Global warming, undeniably, is happening, and it is a problem for multiple different reasons. Maybe this reason is rising water levels due to the melting of the ice caps; maybe it is the possible extinction of a species, or many species due to climate change. The reason it is a problem may vary from person to person, but science has proven that it is happening, and that it is not a good thing. The real question that is to be debated about global warming is whether or not the common man or woman should be worried about it. The answer to that question is no; the common man should not be worried about global warming. They should acknowledge it, and if it continues to be a threat in the future the situation …show more content…
I disagree with this point because there are other incentives to developing new energy means. First of all the United States, for example, experiences a lot of issues because the country is not energy independent. The US relies on other countries’ ability to provide fossil fuels to thrive as a country. It would be very beneficial to many people if the US, and other countries, are energy independent. Another incentive to creating new energy means is the possibility of money to be made with new innovation. Not only would someone rather pay for a clean energy alternative, but an alternative could ultimately be cheaper than fossil fuels. There is a huge amount of money to be made for the person or agency that discovers and creates a way to develop clean energy for less money than fossil fuels. If this is the case then the problem with the dedication of resources to solving the problem is almost obsolete because ultimately there would be more to be made than what would be put into the solution. There are clearly incentives to solving this problem without the media hyping it up, and without the common man thinking that it is such a monumental threat to the …show more content…
The problems will come when we think that there are no more problems, and when we stop searching for them. Humans will be able to figure out the answers that they need for any situation that they are in. We always have been able to. and we will continue to be able to do so, if and only if, we continue to raise our generations of children to not only be problem solvers, but to be problem finders. I know that I have been raised with an importance stressed on engineers and innovators, and I know that I will raise my children stressing the same importance on innovation. If the same trend continues throughout the future of humans that has so far we should never worry about our problems. We should acknowledge them, and if noone is trying to solve them someone will have to step up. Any issue we encounter can and will be
