RE: Alex Hao's Global Warming Commentary

I am blown away by the thoughtful, articulate insight that Alex provides in his commentary. I found his writing to be excellent in quality and quantity.  While I may still be in high school, I have a better understanding of what a college student should strive to achieve.

I agree that global warming is a major issue that many (including the government) are overlooking. If global warming is left unchecked, the entire world could change dramatically like Alex pointed out. Alex does a fantastic job of showing how absurd the US is by pulling out of the Paris climate accord when there are currently only two countries are not in it with one (Nicaragua) believing it to be too lenient. 

Ending his commentary with a call to action is a great way to make the reader remember the article. It gives them a cause that they can quickly join and a clear path to help that cause. Many believe in climate change, and this action helps them work towards their beliefs. More importantly, it makes a persuasive argument to the uniformed and those in denial that we all must work to help lessen the impact of climate change.
