Frank DeCourten-Global Warming

Although I was aware of global warming before Franks speech, the extremity of it definitely caught me off guard. I liked the way he based his lecture off of the "Five points of universal consensus," because it helped me to better understand what his facts were all about. The fact that my generation is supposedly the last one to see a live polar bear is crazy to me; like I said before, I was aware, but not to this extent. It is insane to think that summers could get to 112 degrees in California, and that only 27% of the snow that falls will actually stick. Franks lecture, I think has been my favorite so far because of how big of an issue global warming has become even since I was young. Learning about issues like these are really interesting to me because we have so much impact on it and it is easy to get others involved in helping. The last point, "It's already too late to avoid some impacts," has never really occur ed to me but I see as very true now. Hopefully what we begin now will save humans as well as plants/animals from having to suffer through mass global warming.
