Our climate’s condition is a very important factor that we cannot ignore. It largely determines the kind of activities people in different geographic regions can engage in. It even affects mundane decisions we make such as choice of clothing. Some of the reported indicators of gradual change in climate are an increase in atmospheric temperature, changes in rain and snowfall patterns, and other extreme weather events.

Climate change is largely affected by human activities that release chemicals into the atmosphere, like emissions of greenhouse gases, carbon, etc. Illinois has a record in the United States for coal mining, which is one of the leading contributors to rapid climate change. Several changes have been put into effect by the state government that will ultimately have an effect on the climate.

Although Illinois citizens are not exempt from the potential effects of climate change, there is still no need for the Government to be forced to focus on the matter. The various initiatives concerning climate change are inconvenient and impact the populace negatively. Following the positive response of the state government towards the need to reduce emissions and pollutants that promote climate change, it’s evident that the state is already doing enough. More so, it is important not to lose sight of the fact that while climate change is an important reality to deal with, there are many other important and immediate issues that also need to be addressed. In light of this, it’s critical that no further burden or unnecessary restrictions are placed on the citizens of the state for the purpose of executing a climate change initiative.

There are many local residents, groups, activists, and so forth, that have a passion around this work, and through their efforts, and the smart yet convenient adjustments people can make in their every day live, are enough to curb the effects of climate change. Why ask for sweeping policy changes when you can just recycle a bit more.

Every decision, plan, or initiative that is drafted by government authorities must always have one major focus; the interest of the people. Any directive that brings about a negative impact on the people whose interest ought to be upheld and promoted may need to be reviewed. Lets let the Government get back the issues that really matter and leave any climate change efforts in the hands of the people.
