Today The Guardian opened up a feed for comments after the US government released a report that says we are already feeling the effects of climate change (polar vortex anyone?). They've asked people to tweet, email, or post right on the feed to "join the debate". If we're already experiencing the effects, how can it be called a debate? There is nothing more to debate, we know that climate change is happening and we know that it's already having impacts on the world. It's interesting and a bit frustrating that people keep using the word debate when they talk about climate change. The debate is no longer if it is happening or not, rather what we should be doing about it.
If you'd like to read the comments and perhaps send your own it, you can see the feed here!
