Global Warming

Despite the evidence of the planet wide effects of global warming, many still believe global warming to be just another way to give funding back to scientific researchers. The issue at hand is of great importance, and will continue to alarm Americans so long as it is not resolved. Global warming leaves many asking the question, Is the top of the world melting?
Time is running out, stabilizing global warming does not happen over night, and it is to late to stop it completely. The change in climate has been attributed directly to natural, and human activity such as cars burning fossil fuel, power plants, and chemicals such as methane, nitrous oxide and many other gases that trap solar heat. All of these contribute to the global greenhouse effect and this is what causes Global Warming. Because of the rising temperature, due to global warming, the arctic is melting. If we do nothing, by the end of the century, we can expect to see a dramatic raise in sea levels. Today, this is already occurring, forcing many to move to higher levels of land. Imagine how it will be years from now. If the temperature continues to rise, many animals will be extinct and the ecosystem will be severely affected.
All humans should acknowledge that the threat of global warming is increasing with every minute nothing is done. It is up to each inhabitant of Planet Earth to take initiative and attempt to understand global warming, in order to stabilize it. The severity of this issue is real. Our nation is contributing, in all possible ways to saving our beautiful planet, however this is not enough. Some may never recognize the real cause of global warming, be it man made, or natural hazards, but in time, when our ecosystem has turned against us, maybe then will mankind wished they had done more.

Up Close and Personal: Debate shows what's right with Obama message

This article entitled, Up Close and Personal: Debate shows what's right with Obama message, implies that the debate between Obama and Clinton is going to be discussed. However, the writer seems to jump on a bandwagon that is headed for fair weather. The writers political views are scattered like useless fodder that will not yield substance. The writers criticism toward John McCain is biased, showing party favoritism. Although he states that McCain is concentrating on rebutting Obamas policies, he does not clearly interpret platforms and present open political views. This leaves the readier with an inability to grasp the articles essential point of view. "What’s right with Obama message," seems to be muddled in abstract, meaningless rhetoric. In order to achieve comprehension and lend simplicity to a statement, a writer must captivate his audience. In this case, the writer has done exactly opposite. He has led his readers to believe they will be reading an article about a debates points of view. Instead, he downgrades Clintons ability to challenge Obama. The reader is left without any clear definitions of the writers point of view. I read a condescending writer that is not an idealist, but a conformist that just wants to finish the paragraph and go to lunch.
