Dealing with Global Warming needs Cultural Change

John M. Broder from the New York Times describes how Americans must move away from the Scientific innovations and statistical data in order to find solutions and work towards changing the way people in our communities think about Global Warming. Quoting Andrew J. Hoffman, an advocate and professor at the University of Michigan's Ross School of Business and School of Natural Resources and Environment:

“It requires a shift in our values to reflect what scientists have been telling us for years,” he added. “The certainty of climate change must shift from that of being a ‘scientific fact’ to that of being a ‘social fact.’ ”

This way of thinking by John M. Broder and Andrew Hoffman is absolutely what must be done now. As a country, we must change the way we view the problems of Global Warming and put as a top priority. Change will only come about only when the majority of the citizens and politicians advocate issues such as the Civil Rights movement and in Broder's view, the connection between the smoking of tobacco and the banning of smoking indoors. It is because there were so much resentment that the change socially and politically is even possible. The same concept will apply to Global Warming. Either the nations of the world start changing their cultural views on this matter and begin a global movement or there will be a great disaster that will occur and force us to change prematurely.
