Global warming is no longer a concern for everyone living on this planet, but rather a reality that will have an indeterminate impact on humankind. It is a predicament that we cannot afford to ignore or hope that politicians or scientists can solve. It will affect us all and as educators, it is our responsibility to teach students the serious consequences that can result from human activity. Human-induced climate change, Global Warming, is not only a political topic, but a scientific based issue that we need to all share in acknowledging, understanding, and being proactive in resolving. With human fingerprints on greenhouse gases, it is necessary to make a change in society’s perspective on what is happening to our Earth’s climate and how it can, and will affect us as humans. As technology and understanding of energy develop, so should our abilities to keep our natural environment as stable as we found it.

By developing new technologies that reduce reliance on fossil fuels, continued conservation methods, and utilization of alternative energy sources
