The topic of climate change has recently gained international attention. Everyone from government officials to scientists to weather forecasters to the average citizen is concerned about the deterioration of the environment and increasing scarcity of resources. But the issue remains: Is the alteration of the planet's climate a current paradigm, or just another speculative extrapolation? If it has already begun to affect our earth, do we laypeople know enough to stop it? Or are we just choosing to ignore or downplay the events around us? In an effort to demonstrate the fact of global warming, this article will compile a number of recent examples. This paper's overarching goal is to get across the message that it is now time to tackle climate change by analysing the many obstacles nations face.
