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?

Heating and Cooling
Our carbon footprint that's worse as we have to deal with more Heating and Cooling. As it gets hotter we need to spend more energy making it colder and as it gets colder we need to spend more energy making it harder which is making more greenhouse gases which is making the problem worse. In order to solve this problem we just need to cut down on our greenhouse gas uses on other appliances and resources So that we can stop this ever-growing problem. Then we will be able to not make as much greenhouse gases from Heating and Cooling our homes so that we don't have to worry about it as much on other things.
