Nothing bothers me more than not being able to say what I feel and it seems like James Hansen of NASA institute of climate is in that very same situation. Not being able to freely communicate with others and informing us on what is going on in the world is extremely shady and unfair to us. We all know that global warming has become an issue within our society but the actual facts about it are sometimes edited to the point that an issue that needs to be addressed is not because there is not much emphasis put on it. We as a country have a right to know what is going on with the climate. The fact that someone under both President Clinton and President Bush was unable to get the Our Changing Planet report threw congress without an extreme number of edits in unfortunate. It seem to me from this video that any politician whether democrat or republican seem to only acknowledge the idea of global warming. We know that ice sheaths are melt, that the burning fossil fuels impacts global warming, and that 2005 was the warmest year reported. We are aware that things are happening but shown how to resolve it. If action is not taken soon scientist believe our world will not be able to keep the earth from warming below one degree Celsius and that we will hit and surpass the tipping points have become so very aware of within the past few assignments. If scientists have ideas or new information about global warming and its effects I feel as though we as a country are entitled to know about them when discovered, not when a president deems it needed.
