In the article “My question for the GOP candidates” William Sanford "Bill" Nye, from the popular educational television show from 1993 to 1998 Bill Nye The Science Guy, argues that are current Front-running presidential candidates are not concerned about the climate change and global warming. Bill argues that the world’s science community is concerned with the matter and most of the world is hoping to look to America for a leading example of how to solve this problem. He goes on to talk about how Texas is a great example of a place that could use the jobs created by embracing renewable energy sources. Furthermore he states “if citizens were motivated they could transform the economy in Texas to run not on extraction of oil… but instead on the wind and sun.” he also states that when someone like him make a case for this others like the presidential candidates he is addressing in this article say that it would take too long and be too expensive but he says they are wrong and he will prove it. Then he brings up how his parents and their American peers became known as the greatest generation by changing the world virtually overnight in World War II.

I believe Bill Nye did a pretty damn good job in making this argument he had solid logical appeals, good emotional appeals, and he is obviously a credible person. His best logical appeal I feel was a Stanford University-based Solutions Project that estimated that Texas could get around 60% of its energy from the wind, and the other 40% from the sun. Or it may be his references to American involvement in the World Wars but I believe those references would more likely appeal to any American’s emotional side because we have all studied those wars and know how hard of a time it was for our country. Furthermore to anyone who reads the beginning of this blog and wonders who Bill Nye The Science Guy is I would ask if you grew up under a rock because that was a very popular T.V. show when I was a kid to show in science class when we had a substitute and PBS still shows reruns this gives Bill Nye a substantial amount of credibility. He also addresses people opposed to his argument, a key element in any good argument, which gives him a bit more credibility. There is no doubt in my mind that Bill is right in thinking that the 3 people most likely to be running our country within the next year need to be more concerned about climate change and global warming I would like to know that they intend on doing something about this so far their efforts seem to be focused on terrorism which is no doubt our biggest priority but it is not our only priority there is a lot more to deal with than just ISIS.

The Cuban Revolution of 1959 resulted in the U.S. severing diplomatic ties with Cuba in 1961 and began focusing on destroying the Communist regime. Also the U.S. imposed an embargo which is a set of restrictions and bans of the Cuban regime. The current U.S. President, Barack Obama, has called for the ending of this embargo. He and Cuban President Raul Castro announced the beginning of a repairing relations between Cuba and the U.S. This has resulted in U.S. airlines submitting proposals to the Transportation Department to fly approximately 100 daily flights to Cuba. Department officials are to review the proposals with benefits to passengers being the main focus. Flights could begin as early as fall. Expanding travel is a key element of the president’s policy he is proposing

I believe the article.U.S.: Flights to Cuba expected to begin by fall is important to read because it brings awareness to the fact that our President is successfully reaching his goal of repairing relations between the U.S. and Cuba. Foreign relations is one of the most important tasks a president must attempt. It is comforting to know the decade’s old embargo is in the process of being dissolved.
