A Response to a Classmate

Climate change is undeniable with facts like more hurricanes in the last years, the increase of the sea level, and many others. Some countries have decided to reduce greenhouse gases, pollution, while others like Syria are standing out of that. I understood this while reading the blog post of my classmate, Phuong Nguyen, where she argued about climate change. The United States retraction from the Paris climate agreement is actually a big surprise since it is one of the biggest industrial countries in the world. Donald Trump does not believe in global warming, but he believes into cutting the funds that fight against the issue and investing them in job creations. A question I have had since reading my classmate's blog is: "Is it necessary to invest in job creations if the future of the planet is not certain?" The temperature increase in the last four years has been the most drastic one in 22 years according to the World Meteorology Organization. In the past years, we have seen many natural disasters like hurricane Katrina, floods, snow storms,  droughts, and so on. The United States ought to invest in slowing global warming since many hurricanes, snow storms, floods, have been destroying cities, families, homes, and lives.
