Climate Change by Nicholas D. Kristof

Nicholas Christoff wrote an article called “Will climate change get some respect now?” in this article Christoff talks about how the climate is changing drastically everywhere like there are bad storms hurricanes, floods, and more. Like for example hurricane sandy there was a debate and nothing was said about the hurricane and that’s what really matters because the people of America are the ones being affected by this. In this quote “Gov. Andrew Cuomo of New York says he told president Obama the other day it seems we have a hundred year flood every two years now” in this quote I think the governor is saying that there needs to be action taking if were having the floods way more often than usual ans someone needs to step up. People are losing homes their cars are being destroyed and no one is saying anything about it. Mainly the politicians and that’s what Christoff is talking about all these things are happening to these people and nothing is being said or done. In my opinion I think Christoff is right about everything he is saying the politicians should be talking about the hurricane and maybe how they are going to help the people who need the help get through this. If I was affected by the storm in a huge way I would feel comfortable knowing someone cares like the people who are in charge of this country but if they were not saying anything about it I would start to feel worried.

  1. There's lots of people talking about the hurricane; Kristof's problem is that not enough politicians are talking about climate change, which may have contributed to the hurricane's strength. 90
