To Whom It May Concern, <br /> The current national government administration has continuously denied the existence of <br /> climate change, despite conclusive scientific evidence. In regards to recent events such as the <br /> "polar vortex" in which temperatures reached record lows, and two state of emergencies due to <br /> record breaking floods, it is clear that climate change is not a phenomenon that we can choose <br /> to ignore any longer. Events resulting from climate change are not irrelevant disasters that we <br /> read about in newspapers, they are affecting the lives of people in South Bend on a personal <br /> level. The proposed plan to reduce the City of South Bend's carbon emissions would not only be <br /> doing the right thing for our world, it would set an example to other governments and the <br /> citizens of South Bend that climate change needs immediate action and attention. <br /> Grace Yarger <br /> 11th Grader <br />
