We all dream of a prosperous economy and maintain a high quality environment, yet it seems so impossible. With the abnormally cold winter season we had last year, and now the extremely hot summer season where we are hitting record highs in many places around the globe wonder if climate change is real and what role it really plays in our environment. Although climate and natural environment seem to go hand in hand, there are many circumstances where they don't go together. That said scientists on both sides of the climate change are manipulating this climate problem to strengthen their argument. Either way nobody wants to take out a personal loan to fix a problem that can be prevented now.
