With global warming, the world is getting
hotter and hotter. Our nation’s use of fossil fuels has caused this idea to
effect the world drastically. Without a proper leader our nation could not just
end due to economic reasons, but to reasons caused by the environment. In Miles
Grant’s article titled “Obama Climate Plan a Key Milestone on Path to Secure
Climate Future”, this idea is extremely emphasized. Grant claims that Obama is
fulfilling his promises to the nation by attempting to preserve it for future
generations. Upon reading this article I ask myself How is Obama helping the
nation, and Why does this make him such a good president?
“President
Obama is following through on his pledge to act and this is an important step
in the journey to end industrial carbon pollution,” said Larry Schweiger,
president and CEO of the National Wildlife Federation. This quote reveals that
Obama is trying to preserve the Earth by cutting down on pollution caused by
industry. Obama is also trying to save the nation by switching to cleaner
energy sources. Schweiger also said, ”America’s economy is growing at a time
when our carbon emissions are falling.” This means that Obama is not only
benefiting the nation though the environment, but also through the economy.
I
think that Obama is an awesome president that will lead this nation to victory.
As Schweiger says in his quote above, Obama is following through on his
promises. These acts show that Obama cares about our nation and not just for
himself. If he did not care about the nation, he would let it go down in flames.
With his actions, Obama benefits the nation both environmentally and
economically. He cares about the citizens of the United States of America.
