In the Northern Hemisphere in 2017 and 2018 brought several destructive hurricanes to the shores of North America, the Caribbean, and throughout the Pacific rim. Such extreme weather events are predicted to get more common and more severe with increasing climate change.
Several participating classes in the ISCFC were or are in the path of these storms and we hope for the best for them, their families and communities.
We would love to hear from students affected directly and indirectly by extreme weather events, and also any students who have been following the news this summer.
What are your thoughts about the connection between climate change and extreme weather events? Has this hurricane season increased your concern about climate change or not? Do you think that US citizens and residents (and others in the region) will take climate change more seriously now?

Imagine living in California waking up, and looking out the window to a apocalyptic sky, smoke everywhere barely being able to see 40 feet in front of you, this is what is like for me, and many other people. Hurricanes, fires, tornados, and rising sea levels,all of these worsening due to greenhouse gasses caused by our carbon footprint. If we continue how we are going right now, Florida could be underwater by 2050, we need to try as much as we possible can to limit the amount of greenhouse gasses we admit, although it is impossible for some people to do, if we don't are kids and are grandkids won't be able to have the life we have now.
