An article by Bryan Walsh in Times has thrown light on the emerging issues in U.S college campuses and how they had changed. On one time, issues like civil rights,Vietnam war and apartheid were the major attraction of the students conscience. Now the climate change and global warming is gaining popularity and acceptability in campuses. On of the early advocate of climate change problem, Professor Goodstein had played vital role in promoting this issue in campuses, even before the Al Gore work. He states the grim position of environmental awareness in America by saying that, “They think global warming is scary, but they don’t realize how short a window of time we have.”
The political and educational initiatives had helped in a great way for making the students aware about the issue. The aim of these activities is to create a strong foot soldiers in the form of students, who have to live with the consequences of climate change. As always the responsibility have been handed over to the coming generation for tackling the issue. So the objective of emerging political activities is to create a strong foot soldiers team, they will work in the direction of resolving the issue.
