Last night, my husband took our 8-year-old Emma to a presentation about global warming. This morning at the breakfast table, I asked her what she learned. She looked up at me and said, “China is going to take over the United States in eight years. Eight years!” He hazel eyes were big and looked a little worried. My husband chimed in. “No, they are not taking over the United States. Their emissions will overtake the United States’ emissions in eight years.”
