TS #16 - Brad Charlassier

For my 16th and final tutoring session I met with Dojun over Skype. Today we talked about Global Warming. I asked him if he knew what Global Warming was, and he didn't understand the phrase at first but once I started explaining the concept behind it he knew immediately what I was getting at. I told him of an article he read that said this past July has been the hottest month in recorded history. He knew that this is caused by the burning of fossil fuels and that some countries, like China, burn a lot more than others. With that in mind, I asked how we could get countries to reduce their carbon emissions in order to slow this constant warming of our planet? He replied that some developing countries still need to have an availability to the burning of fossil fuels, since they aren't as technologically advanced to use other means such as solar or electric. But, he did say that those already developed, first world countries, should have a limitation on the amount they use since they're are other methods at their disposal and since it clearly affects our planet. I agreed with him that I think developed countries should definitely have their amount of carbon emissions limited, but I did not even think of developing countries. How American of me.
