Fewer Americans See Solid Evidence of Global Warming

Fewer Americans See Solid Evidence of Global Warming

Its an issue of choosing what to believe and what not to believe despite the facts. Some may see that believing it would lead to too much work to fix it, too much money. So, they feel by continuously denying it, it will either go away or become someone else's problem. That is the irresponsible way of dealing with a problem that should be more in Americans, and the world at large, faces. The facts are there, reality shows her face more and more every year with the ice caps melting, and temperatures rising steadily every year.

President Obama award the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize

2009 Nobel Peace Prize goes to President Obamahttp://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/eu_nobel_peacePresident Barack

Obama surprising announcement as the Winner of the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize has a lot of people talking. U.S Republican Party Chairman Michael Steel says he won the prize with "star power" not for meaningful accomplishments.
The Nobel Committe Chairman Thorbjoern Jagland says that its not prematurely or too early, that now is our opportunity to respond. Meaning our time to act and too change, President Obama has become the face of change. People are inpatient and want result now, though it took 8 to 10 years to get here.
What I believe has happen is the Nobel Committee has given President Obama a larger platform to spread his ideas and leadership.
