Provide evidence that you see in your personal life of climate change. This is a little hard to do because I have moved around quite a bit and each place has a different environment, so it is hard to observe and make any opinions. However I did find a article that talked about how people said that the summers are getting hotter here in Utah. [1]

This past summer I also noticed that it was hot - of course that is not always enough to say there is climate change. In order to say there is climate change one will need to look more deeply at data and evidence - which I have not done yet.
Having taking a stats class I do don't trust most stats anymore unless I see the data and know how it was collected. However, for the purpose of this GeoJournal a survey has stated that 3 in 4 people in Utah believe there is climate change. [2]
I currently work at the SLC airport, deicing aircraft. This year compared to last there is like no snow this year. Last year and many years before that there was a lot more snow than there is now. It is always interesting to see how climate change, whether natural or with the help of man, affects our lives.
I think we should still try to do things to reduce our waste as much as possible and also know that God made these things for us to enjoy. The earth only needs to last a little while longer.
