Austin Magruder - Global Warming

Are we as humans so consumed with ourselves that we are willing to live in the now and not care about the future because it will be someone elses problem? This issue kind of reminds me of President George W. Bush's statement about the Iraq war "This war started on my watch, but it is going to end on yours." That sort of mentality where we pass on our problems to the next person in line is disgusting. Global warming is very real, and it suprises me how many people are unwilling to deal with it. I have heard many people jokingly say things like, oh i'll be dead before that ever happens. Yes, you will probably be long gone, but what about your children, or your children's children? Do you not care about them? This issue affects us all in one way or another, lets act like it.
