It is terrifying to know that just one degree Fahrenheit can change absolutely everything in this world. This is the only planet we have and it is being destroyed because of human dependance on fossil fuels. While I was saddened by the various animals being pushed to extinction and the dwindling number of caribou, what concerned me the most was how cholera can now spread more easily due to the changing weather patterns. Likewise, a 2003 heatwave in Europe is said to be responsible for the death of nearly 15,000 people. If for no other reason, humans should be concerned with their health and how our actions can negatively effect it. Our drinking supplies, air quality, and overall quality of life is already diminished already so why let this continue and potentially lose it all?
If for no other reason, people should care about the sports that they love. There will be no more Breckenridge to ski on and no freezing days for the Polar Bear Club (assuming that there will even be polar bears). It will be too hot for America's pass time and fantasy football doesn't hold much weight when there is no actual football being played.
