Global warming is a problem that humans must take actions to address. In order to reduce our dependence on foreign oil and help fight climate change, I strongly support funding in the research and development of renewable energy sources such as wind, solar, geo-thermal, and bio-fuels

Global warming is a problem primarily caused by humans; higher average temperatures are partly or entirely the result of human actions. Climate change has already had measurable impacts on our environment and will continue to do so unless we dramatically reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
