Man, it's getting hot out there. Sure seems like summers, in Louisiana, keep inching up the thermometer every year. So is the Earth's climate changing? And if so, what can we do about it? These are the very questions put to climate change analysts. Essentially environmental scientists, they make it their mission to study our climate and catastrophic weather conditions, gather and crunch the hard data, and then make recommendations to the government for new legislation or regulations that could help keep the planet (and us humans) safe. They may be called on to testify, prepare reports, or help write new legislation itself. This growing concern needs thoughtful people leading the discussion—and you could be one of them.
