It's hard to believe how much politics play a part in just about everything. The fact that the government is trying to cover up, or mislead us of the dangers of global warming seems a little ridiculous when you think about it. With the internet and knowledge at our fingertips, anyone can do independent research on the matter. It also seems a little unfair for the government to lie or withhold information from their citizens. Why does George Bush think that he should be able to make the executive decision as to whether or not American citizens should be able to be fully informed about what is happening to their planet? On the other hand, I do believe that some Americans just plain don't care about the effects that global warming is having on our planet. Some people don't really want to know, while others don't understand it. I think that is a big part of why the government tried to cover it up for so long. I think that the Bush administration didn't think that many Americans would understand even if it was explained to them and were afraid that some may even panic. Whatever the reason, lying isn't fair or honest. As a society, Americans have become more informed of the dangers of global warming. The government has been honest about the importance of preventing it, now we just have to start doing something about it.
