What is the Future of our climate as we know it?

What is the Future of our climate as we know it? This is great question that I believe has many possible answers. Although there are many possible answers, we do not know for sure what the answer will be. This is obviously because no one can be sure exactly what the future holds for. Many people argue however, that the reality of our future climate relies in our own hands. When i say "in our own hands" I am referring to the human race as a whole. I think there are multiple questions that are necessary to take into account and answer before humans begin making decisions about climate change. First is the question is what a person thinks the definition of climate change is. If a person does not believe in climate change, they will not take any action into altering it. On the contrary if one does believe in climate change, they then must think about what the future of climate holds. This leads up to the second question we must ask ourselves, "How does the way we think about the future influence the future"? This is a question ponder for a few minutes before answering. As i thought about this question and discussed it in our small groups, it grew on me in a way where i began to value it's content more and more. After thinking about it, i believe that this question is a great starting point to look at and start manipulating the future of climate change. I believe this because depending on what a person believes a future climate will look like, will influence the actions we take toward dealing with climate change. This leads to our last question, what action do we take in order to change climate change? I think that these questions have the potential to lead humans in the right path to figuring out climate change and the challenges it poses.
