Current Event: Climate Study

Did you know that New York City produces one percent of the countries greenhouse gas? Now you know that that is true. In fact, NYC produces the same amount of gas as Ireland and Portugal. Mayor Bloomberg is hoping to cut it down by thirty percent within the next 27 years, which was just said on Tuesday. Each New Yorker leaves off one third of the emissions as the average American, but since it is so packed, it produces much of the percentage of the nations emissions. Just in case you didn't know, like me, greenhouse gas is the pollution from cars and objects like that. I learned that this effects the climate because it is basically traps the suns energy, warming the Earth, which is NOT good. I really think that we, as Americans, should cut down our emission level.
