The article "Will Climate Change Get Some Respect Now?" is about climate change. It's also about hurricanes, and Hurricane Sandy (Our recent hurricane). How hurricanes destroying our economy.
In the article it says "Humans created climate change." Humans probably created climate change by air pollution and other pollution. The article also says "climate change adds moisture to the atmosphere, which means that storms come with more rain and more flooding" This means the more climate change, the more moisture goes into the atmosphere. Which would cause lots of rain and flooding. James E. Hansen says "For the extreme hot weather of the recent past, their is virtually no explanation other than climate change." This means that climate change is the reason for the extreme hoe whether. The article also says "we may not want to rebuild in some coastal areas that have been hammered by Sandy." This means that they will not rebuild in some coastal areas that have been damaged by Hurricane Sandy.
I think climate change and hurricanes is very important to humans and their economy. I think many people should pay attention to climate change and hurricanes. I think so because to much climate change could really do damage to our economy. Also, that people should pay attention to the pollution they put in the air, and try to limit it.
This article makes me think about how hurricanes destroy families and economies. Will those who think they are causing climate change stop. Do people care about how hurricanes effect other people? Will people help other people recover from Hurricane Sandy.
Good post, with a good discussion of the article's details. I do think, however, you put a little too much emphasis on the economy in your post. It seems to me that Kristof was criticizing our political leaders who have not talked about this issue at all. 90
