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?

What's up with the weather?
It’s very true that mostly wherever you live, you have been experiencing some weather that should just not be happening. Summer days in winter, and rainy days in summer. A reason for this could be the climate change issues. We humans are wasting our resources; we waste a lot of this, we use too much of that. All these actions have effects. You don’t understand how they happen, but you can tell they are there. Using cars to go grocery stores that are 10 minutes walks away from our house contributes to the cause of dying animals. It’s time for everyone to reduce, reuse, and recycle.
