Today we continued to watch "The People Bomb", the CNN Anderson Cooper special. For the passed few days, the movie focused only on the effects of climate change on things such as rain forests and endangered animals. This is what we always hear about, isn't it?However, today the movie delved into the effects of pollution on ordinary people, ordinary middle class people. Pollution has caused disease, has shorten life spans on everyday people.Finally, to end the video, Cooper continued to stress the fact that in this century, we will all be effected. This is our problem,and we are going to begin to feel the products of our mistakes. And its growing. By 2050,there will be 50% more people inhabiting this Earth. 50% more people causing these problems, going hungry,getting sick from toxic fumes, wiping out species.
