Response to global warming readings

I think it is ridiculous that we are only now putting caps on our carbon dioxide emissions since the U.S. is the biggest producer of carbon emissions. As the population continues to increase, we are continuing to consume more and more natural resources. It seems that no matter how we try to reduce our carbon dioxide emissions, our efforts will never be enough. Even though global warming happens slowly over time, people cannot procrastinate on taking measures to fix global warming. It seems like there is too small a number of people involved in the efforts of global warming right now to make a difference. Everybody in the world needs to start taking action to stop global warming so future generations can enjoy the world as many generations have already done.
