Climate Scientists: Texas is Missing an Opportunity

The Article

The issue of climate change has been a very controversial topic for many years.  Here in the State of Texas, the extremely conservative government rejects all efforts in reversing climate change.  This article sheds some light on what is actually happening with our environment with proof from climate scientists, and Rice University professors. Texas is the highest producer of greenhouse gasses, and the total amount produced by Texas alone is greater than the next two States combined.   Sea levels are rising every year, and temperatures keep going up, causing extreme drought. Because of this, farmers are forced to move further north because of the excessive heat and lack of water.  The leaders in Texas don’t want anything to do with climate change, so progress can never be made. Governor Rick Perry and Attorney General Greg Abbot have rejected every effort to combat global warming, and have spent over $350,000 suing the environmental protection agency.  The issue of climate change is growing exponentially, but since climate change is a “liberal issue”, most republicans in office immediately reject it.   I encourage everyone to read this article because this issue will never go away.  Until something drastic gets done, the State of Texas will always fall behind in the efforts to protect the environment.
