I&#8217;ve encountered professional scientists, from climatologists, geologists, glaciologists and biologists, to name a few, who have shared data that indicates the polar regions are undergoing rapid change and this heralds dramatic global changes. Though there&#8217;s debate about why things are changing, how much they&#8217;re changing, how fast they&#8217;re changing, and whether we&#8217;ve seen this kind of change before, I have yet to meet a single scientist who debates that climate change exists. The scientific communities understanding of climate change is advancing at a very rapid rate; old models and predictions are continually being updated based on better and better information. There is growing concern in the scientific community. We need to make funding relevant scientific research to get more high quality information one of our highest priorities.<br \/>\nPublicly, the debate has shifted from &#8220;Does climate change exist?&#8221; to &#8220;How much does man contribute to climate change?&#8221;. We need to seriously consider another very practical issue, whether climate change is influenced by man, a little or a lot, given that it exists, &#8220;What are we doing to prepare for climate change?&#8221; Climate always changes. And climate changes human history.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.johnpaulcaponigro.com\/lib\/statements\/ClimateChange.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><br \/>\nFind information from the experts here.<br \/>\nFind what you can do to help right now.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We need to shift our focus away from politicians to scientists &#8211; the real experts.
