of the American people in refusing to take action on an issue that will directly threaten American life within the coming decades. In 2005, a study conducted by James
Hansen of the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies confirmed that, due to greenhouse gas emissions, the Earths overall temperature is rising, due to the fact that these gases trap
solar energy with the atmosphere rather than allowing it to radiate into space (Vergano). Gas emissions such as carbon dioxide (CO2) do this in much the same way that a
greenhouse will hold in heat, thus, the origin of the name. On February 2, 2007, the United Nations (UN) scientific panel charged with investigating climate change reported that the current
evidence on global warming is "unequivocal," that is, the planet is, indeed, warming and that "human activity has very likely been the driving force in that change over the last
50 years" ("Global Warming"). In 2001, a similar UN report said that human activity had "likely played a role" in global warming, which points to the significance of the
addition of the word "very," which indicates the "mounting scientific evidence that the release of carbon dioxide" and other greenhouse gases, have played a pivotal role in raising the average
