It's time to change the way the public thinks about climate
change, says Chirag Kumar, 17. People need to realize that climate
change is already having impacts, says the senior at Horace
Greeley High School in Chappaqua, NY. "It's not only about
tomorrow getting warmer," he notes. "It's about extreme weather
events, like the polar vortex and extreme heat waves. It's a
problem that will change how we live our lives
Laws and taxes can make people change. But people might change
on their own if they believe the problem is worth working on.
That's why Ana Humphrey, 18, wants to educate people. "It's such
a big challenge; we need to collaborate, says the senior at T.C.
Williams High School in Alexandria, Va. "If we could get
everyone on the same page, I think we would figure it out. These
are issues that impact all of us." Perhaps the most important key to
climate change, then, is getting everyone to understand that's is a
problem that needs solving.
