Introduction

Is Climate Change something that we need to worry about? Is it something that was going to happen anyhow and there is nothing we could do about it, or are we causing a problem and making an existing problem worse?

We hear about it almost daily, you cannot watch or read news without hearing a story about it.  It used to be just a a few people and then we heard about scientists adding to the debate.  Then politicians and policy makers stepped up and are now involved.  College campuses got in on it, and then local communities.  Even mot schools are actively doing something, it’s everywhere!  Climate Change is an issue that has been around for decades, but has only become such a hot issue in the recent years.  Some people think that it’s not true; they think that everyone is getting hysterical over nothing.  They say that the Earth getting warmer is just part of a natural cycle and everything will go back to normal again soon enough.  So who’s right?  Is Climate Change a natural phenomenon that will go away with enough time, or is it a real problem that humans are making worse?  If so, is there something that humans can do to slow down climate change?
