Explanation:
Climate change has been becoming an ever-growing issue during the 20th century and continuing into the 21st century, and rightly so. Human activity has managed to do a lot of harm to nature and cause a total transformation of whole regions, which also has had climatic influences. The amount of greenhouse gases that are released into the atmosphere is speeding up the natural process of warming up, which can have catastrophic consequences.
Not all people share the same views on this though. The liberals and younger people tend to be highly concerned about climate change, or rather the influence of humans on it. Their concerns are based on the damage that the humans are doing with their activity, though in some cases there are fractions that are very extreme in their views. On the other hand, conservatives and older people tend to be less concerned about this. Generally, they claim that the human impact is like a drop in the ocean and that with or without it there will be climate changes caused by natural factors. Also, they also tend to put economic progress in the first place.
The Gulf Stream, together with its northern extension the North Atlantic Drift, is a warm and swift Atlantic ocean current that originates in the Gulf of Mexico and stretches to the tip of Florida, and follows the eastern coastlines of the United States and Newfoundland before crossing the Atlantic Ocean as the North Atlantic Current.
