The reality of the climate change crisis is not one that is unheard of. No matter where or when, it sneaks into conversations all over the world. The topic does deserve it though, because as the PlanNYC article stated, the changes expected are drastic. To think that storms like Hurricane Sandy and Katrina are expected to be more common is horrific! This one storm (Sandy) caused so much damage, and it really brought about a sense of awakening to how vulnerable infrastructure really is. It does also bring to the surface the real problem of not having enough protection by the government from such storms, as the “Cities Under Siege” article discusses. People are raising their voices about this problem to get government officials to listen, and such an event took place last September. The People’s Climate March was an event to get the attention of lawmakers who would meet to discuss future climate related policies. This event was really huge and hopefully it sent a good message to the government, to let them know that the climate problem of the future needs to be fixed now.

Question: What other ways can the public influence the government to do more about the global warming crisis?
