Abstract: Abstract The issue of climate change is quite obviously an environmental concern. However, far too often, we ignore the myriad other burdens associated with global warming. The grave problems caused by climate change are not solely environmental in nature; rather, they are predicaments of public health, national security, public safety, and economic development, to name only a few. Climate change and global warming touch upon practically every aspect of our society. Those who continue to ignore, deny, or downplay the critical developing issues caused by climate change place our nations and our world at risk. Those who embrace these charges understand that battling global warming will lead not only to an enhancement in our environment and quality of life, but to economic benefits and a growth as well. To put it simply, embracing the climate challenge allows us to avoid the worst effects of climate change and to green the bottom line.
