In the article titled "Obama Presses Chinese on Global Warming" Mark Landler and Coral Davenport report how President Obama is working to stop Global Warming. At the United Nations Climate Summit, President Obama expressed his vision of the world working to stop the emission of greenhouse gases. He stated to 100 major nations how he had taken many steps to protect the quality of life in America, but his precautions would not matter if the rest of the world went on emitting so much carbon. He explicitly told China that they need to work specifically because of their stance in the world as a model for other nations. The United States and China are two nations working to create a negotiation for a Global Climate Treaty by 2015.
The article creates a sense of patriotism for Americans because we are seen in the United Nations as the only nation taking steps to help the world's rising ecological problems. Overall I think the things that Obama said are quite necessary to help China and those who recognize the concern for the environment.

I am extremely happy that our federal government is finally taking action against the threat of global warming. Scientists are calling the era in which we live the 6th Mass Extinction Event, the first caused by a single species in the planet's history. Hopefully with the help of cooperating governments, we can avoid the harsh effects of global warming and save our planet in the process.
