Their future

Sometimes its easy to push global warming aside because we may not face direct consequences in our lifetime.  Squarzoni emphasizes our actions from here on out in this final section of the book.  We can’t just ignore global warming because we’re not the only ones involved in this.  What we don’t see in our lifetime, our children, and our children’s children will.

I don’t know about you, but I don’t want be responsible for giving my descendants a hard life.  I don’t want to be responsible for getting rid of snow and winter and everything magical about a white blankety Christmas.  I don’t want to responsible for creating an island of garbage that kills the ecosystem.  I don’t want to be responsible for my future family having to breathe in factory waste and excess amounts of carbon dioxide.

Squarzoni has done a great job at being informative.  It’s interesting how he constantly questioned how he was going to end it but in the end, he ended it by trying to encourage the readers about our future actions.  So really, he never truly ended his story.

I guess thats up to us then, right?
