A quote that really stood out to me was ” In fact ,we are only just entering our brave new world, one that collapses below us as soon as we set foot on it. ” (Cascades, 19 ) Wells informs us in the beginning of the essay of many natural disasters that have happened consecutively and they are not a coincidence. Some of the disasters included were, heat waves, floods, hurricanes, tornadoes and other phenomena that happens in the wrong time of the year. These were just some of the brief affects of anthropogenic climate change, and Wells stated that “ climate change is here now and it is the new normal “. (Cascades, 19) It is believed that if we don’t stop carbons emissions immediately and other factors that cause global warming, we will only make things worse because of plain ignorance. So we need to strap in and combat global warming head on.
