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?

Hot
We need to try and stop our carbon footprints from getting bigger. Since climate change is starting up, many forest fires moved their smoke over to my city. A few days ago has also been very hot. Fall is the type of weather where there is breezes and cold seeping into your skin, this however isn’t the case as it was around 90 degrees Fahrenheit in the first week of October. The ice caps are melting, and so is my hope for the world.
I totally agree with you, you have to let everyone know, I think it is necessary to rely on someone who can spread this information on the network, luckily I know someone, go with Randys and contact with him, I know he can help us spread this all over the internet.
I agree climate change has become a really big problem.
