I believe that climate change is a combination of man and nature. I would consider a source reputable if it were backed by research and not just sentiment and opinion. We don’t have cable in our home. Aside from couponing and buying organic, my wife and I believe that cable television is a waste of time and money. Our children read books and play board games, video games, and we interact quite a bit as a family unit on a daily basis. So what I see from the media isn’t much, just the local news at night. I have seen blurbs here and there about automobiles being a major pollutant and the amount of gas causes our natural resources to dwindle lower and lower each year. The increased pollutant from these autos is a main source of the climate issues reportedly. As a matter of fact, we have recently traded in our 8 cylinder sport utility vehicle for a 4 cylinder car that is a little newer. I have to admit that I feel a sense of relief now that we aren’t dumping as much gasoline into a vehicle like we used to; not only for our bank account, but for the environment. I truly hope that our children and grandchildren will be able to enjoy what we have enjoyed for all of these years. I feel that people have really noticed what has happened to our planet and changes and laws are being made to protect it. I think that in the future, there will be more strict regulations in place for citizens and nations to follow.
