The article reviews recent news from Arizona government limiting water supply allotted to farmers for 2022 due to the record breaking low of the Colorado river and the status of the drought. It reviews climate changes effects on our western water supply from the Colorado River and Arizona's share of its percentage being cut by an agreement from the early 1900s. The water supply will force farmers into seeking more resourceful ways of farming from drought proof crop to reducing their growing area and crop types but ultimately demands a change in how the western states and Arizona source their water supply as it effects our food supply for the future.

It is truly devastating how the drought is affecting the food supply and our farmers in Arizona, there is a need for better water management, and we need a lot more water in Arizona to survive in the intense heat.

I can't imagine how a farmer feels. The colorado river needs a dramatic change.

This article talks about how climate change is the reason for hurricane Harvey. Scientist predicted that this hurricane was going to happen. He also gives examples of climate change and the first steps to help it not to get worse.

Climate change is an important issue that has an impact far outside the present. I thought the author made an interesting point at the beginning of his article, when he talked about how after 9-11 we found terror but when it comes to climate change people look the other way.

Hurricane Harvey is one of the many signs that climate change is a threat to our planet. The article states that "last year was the third year in a row to set a record for highest global average surface temperature " and since then other studies and reports have only further proven these dacts.

Kathleen Maclay, the author, discusses the economic effect of climate change in the United States within the next 100 years using the information from a study published in the journal Science. The author states that climate change will make income inequality worse due to the mass migrations that will occur. The author recommends that politicians consider what is most important when making decisions about climate change and to remember that it will effect the economy of tomorrow.

Mass migration is already happeningredients in today's world due to war. Would people begin to take population migration seriously if it happened in our country today because of climate change? Imagine if Hurricane Harvey had done worse damage and the city had decided to evacuate the affected cities, more people would have to had to migrate elsewhere.

This article targets those who deny the existence of climate change, despite the fact that Texas is experiencing a hurricane. It explains the conditions needed in order for a hurricane to occur and relates them back to a rise in temperature over the years, which supports the realty that is climate change. The article discusses a fair amount of politics, suggesting a unity between parties in order to acknowledge and prepare for what nature has in store, as NASA had predicted a hurricane in Houston some time ago.

This article is current and it really challenges the idea of climate change. It is scary to think that these hurricanes are going to get worse. It provides great points to how climate change is getting worse, and how it will continue to increase the amount of hurricanes.

This article is very interesting. I can't help but think about how bad the other two hurricanes heading towards the U.S. and neighboring countries are going to be.

This article points out key factors of Arizona's economy and how the climate will effect them. Water, crops, electricity, and heat related deaths are the main topics that are discussed in the article.

The climate costs is already a strain on Arizonans, the heat is very much devastating, and nobody wants to stay outside in the sun for too long. The website expresses the message that there needs to be something done to resist and fight back against climate change.

The tone of the article is urgent and presents a fear in the reader by the emboldening of death tolls and seems to be biased. It does come from an organization based on environmental change, however the article does not instruct or offer resources to enact change for the better. Was the point of the article to inform readers with the intention of causing fear or was it to get the reader to look further into their organization.

This article discusses the underlying issues of climate change. With a new report showing that the temperatures are looking to raise if the world does not come together to come up with a new plan to decrease the amounts of carbon dioxide being produced into the air.

Nasa's website contains facts, articles, solutions and resources regarding climate change. The website displays current information on the front page as well as breaking news headlines regarding climate change.

The graphics in this article made it interesting and informative. The statistics on the increase in carbon dioxide levels since 1950 is astonishing. Discussions on global warming causes and remediation are necessary.

In this article, the author explains the causes, effects and solutions to climate change in an interactive way. The website takes you to different diagrams so that you get a better understanding of the evidence.

This article discusses how the United States is behind when it comes to providing paid maternity leave. The United States does not guarantee paid maternity leave.

I feel like every women should be guaranteed paid maternity leave. The government constantly wants us to re produce to keep the world going, so they should encourage women that they'll be fine with money and won't have to worry about missing work.

Maternity leave should be a MUST. Pregnancy is tough and the delivery is life changing. Mother's go through all different kinds of changes. It is unfair for a mother to have to go through these changes all while worrying about having to go to work and missing and wondering how her child might be doing.

This article briefly cover the changes that the new president has made in his first week in office.

It does list all of the big-hitting topics in the news lately. The repeal of AHA, the TPP, the pipeline, and many other first week orders. I don't recall of any other president making so many drastic changes or attempts at drastic changes this early in their term.

I worry about how fast he is doing things and that he isn't really thinking through consequences. I'm not a big fan of Obamacare, but when faced with that or nothing, I'd stick with it, at least until something better can be found to make sure everyone has access to affordable health care.

This article details the steps we can take to helping control climate change through what we eat. This article follows a study that explains how much land is needed to offset the growing concerns of climate change.

The article informs readers how climate change is causing more severe natural disasters such as stronger hurricanes. Methods to be prepared for such tragedies are being looked at.

The greenhouse effect refers to the way the Earth's atmosphere traps and absorbs solar energy

More people need to show attention to these issues and start caring before the world goes into a state that we can't turn back from or fix.

Climate change is a pressing matter that many individuals downplay the severity of. Greenland's melting glaciers are having a major impact on the rise of sea level that is plaguing the Earth. Understanding why they are melting, will help prepare for the rise in sea level.

I agree with this article and how it shows humanity has been messing up the ice sheets for awhile now. Also very interesting to learn that the ice sheet could recover itself in a short time but we continue to "warm" the water.

Not just Greenland, though Greenland is certainly the most apparent in proximity to Earth. While yes, humanity is rushing the process, the Earth naturally goes through the heating and cooling patterns that cause the ocean to rise and fall and glaciers to retreat and refreeze.

A poll done by the Knight-Gallup foundation is reviewed in this article by MTSU in which the author, Ken Paulson, gives his thoughts on the polarizing effects of how American Media has changed from being simply separated by partisanship to a new era of inflamed division. Paulson cites the poll by Knight-Gallup to show that public opinion coincides with his own views in that our media is too heavily biased and is to blame for political division. The article has a strong close bringing readers to be introspective as to why the news articles in which they might place blame are continuously fired up by views and demand.

This study evaluates how the warmer climate has allowed the Asian Tiger Mosquito to invade the Northern American continent with little setbacks as its breeding season is now more suitable due to climate change. Warmer temperatures for longer periods of time and more humidity has lead to an increase in the carrying capacity of the species which is known for its very high potential as a vector (something that helps spread an illness). The numbers of exposed Americans to this vector is expected to double within the century to nearly 60% of the population coming into contact with the new threat. This study also examines the new diseases that public health officials are preparing for as the new climate shows little promise of improving with the current public's attitude towards reform.

I do think that this is a real problem that can be helped, but it wouldn't be an easy solution. It's important to figure out how to best keep our country safe.
