Researchers Advocate For Climate Change Research

Issue: Global

Summary: Researchers are continuing to push for more and more action on the topic of climate change. Also, the action must not be taking on a local or even national level, it has to be taken globally. There are four challenges that must be overcome.
1. To understand what information we need to address the climate change issue.
2. To identify potential weaknesses in society, the economy, and the environment.
3. To improve forecasting and climatic models to address specific problems.
4. Provide technology, management, and policies as options for adapting to the environment.
Most researchers think that improving our methods in predictions is necessary to understand what issues are most prevalent and what issues we need to attack first.

Opinion: I think that climate change is a HUGE issue that needs to be fixed. However, we cannot simply sacrifice our economy's in order to fix the environment. What I think needs to be done is for new technology to be created that can help us with our environmental problems as we, globally, progress towards a greener economy. I really don't agree with what the researchers are saying when they say we need better prediction methods. We already know what's happening; now it's time to stop wasting money on funding "predictions" and start getting down to fixing the problems.
