We all know by now that our country decided Tuesday night that Donald Trump should be our next president. We also all know that climate change is not a worry of Mr. Trump’s. He’s been known to say that global warming is a hoax made by the Chinese, so it stands to reason that worsening climate change will not be gaining much positive attention from Congress. According to Iowa’s NextGen Climate, there were a few people who won the chance to hold office on Tuesday, however, that understand the importance of climate change.
Despite the outcome of the 2016 presidential election, all of us in various natural science fields must stick together. We must hope that a variety of studies regarding organisms in susceptible regions of the globe will continue to earn funding and be able to obtain further insight into the effects of climate change on our planet’s wildlife, even if the explicit goals of the studies are not focused on global warming or the like. Even if the new presidency leads to cuts in scientific funding, specifically studies that involve questions about climate change, there are things we can do. By sticking together and standing strong, we will find ways to assist in the advancement of natural science.

“Iowa’s NextGen Climate” is a great place for a link so we can read more about what they say. I’d like to know more about those few people who understand the importance of climate change.
What do you mean by “variety of studies”? It’s a great idea, but not very specific. I like your passion for the subject, but find a way to tell us what possibilities you foresee making a difference.
