CLIMATE CHANGE 2

Introduction

This article is about climate change, and how different people especially non-

scientists perceive it. It basically talks about the fact that most people in the United States of

America do not take the potential side effects of climate change seriously, because of several

reasons. The issue in this article is, therefore, the absence of concern among people when it

comes to climate change (DiMento, & Doughman, 2014). The authors also note that this is

contributed to by politicians as well as journalists. The fact that there is the existence of

inconsistent information is also a contributing factor.

Article Analysis

In the article, the authors, Joseph DiMento and Pamela Doughman, note that over

time, human beings have been seen to try and alter the weather without paying attention to

the climate. Human beings have done this by praying and dancing for the purpose of getting

more rain, stopping the rain as well as to increase or decrease temperatures. However, as

much as the focus is not usually on changing the climate, the actions of human beings have

caused the climate to change fundamentally over time. One of the ways in which humans

have done this is by taking part in activities that produce greenhouse gases which are

responsible for warming up the earth (DiMento, & Doughman, 2014). The authors assert that

the main concern, however, even for most scientists, is that humans do not give the issue of

climate change the attention or concern it deserves. It is an issue of very little concern that is

if the humans are ever concerned about it at all.

According to the authors, the findings on climatic change by the scientists have not

given most governments an incentive to deal with the lack of concern among its citizens. The

citizens and policymakers are actually more concerned about nuclear contamination instead

(DiMento, & Doughman, 2014). The authors also note that not everyone disregards the
