There are many
representatives for the advocating group of global warming. According to the
Global Warming Reader, Naomi Klein who is a journalist believes that global
warming is occurring. She wants to make a change for the future. Naomi is
advocating for direct action. Her plan is to go against the fossil fuels
company and attack their businesses. Naomi Klein states that, “there business
model is to destroy the planet” (Hurricane Sandy Occupy Sandy Relief: Naomi
Klein Interview in Rockaway Park, Queens). She is referring that the fossil
fuels companies’ placement is to ruin and destroy the planet. They have
declared war on the people advocating for global warming.
In the article Climate Rage, Todd Stern who is Presidents
Obamas chief envoy on climate issues states, “ It’s not a meteor or a space
invader, but the damage to our planet, to our community and their children will
be just as great” ( Klein 239). Todd Stern is saying that the damages to our
planet due to climate change/ global warming will affect our community and
children of every generation. The United Nations have also gotten together to
discuss the matters of global warming and their plan to help prevent it from
happening. One proposal from the advocating group is climate debt. Climate debt
is the idea of rich countries paying developing countries for reparations
because they suffer most from climate change due to our actions from polluting.
Climate debt also involves adapting to a more hostile ecology. The trend that
we know today will have to be switched to more expensive technologies.
