Believe it--global warming changes climate.

Human activity -- mainly burning fossil fuels and chopping down forests -- has caused average temperatures to rise worldwide. That's global warming. The warmer atmosphere triggers climate change or shifts in normal climate patterns. Such deviations can result in more severe weather.

Over the years, Maryland has slowed its commitment to saving the environment. We need to help residents to get over their "global warming fatigue". It is the job of Maryland's legislators to prevent choked mess made worse by homeowners and communities that allow septic tank failures and harmful stormwater runoff as well as allowing farmers to use pesticides or chemicals that are not nutrient conservative practices. As a strong advocate for environmental causes, I will work with our legislators and families to prevent continuous harm to our communities that will, in the future, affect our children.
