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?

The real face of the weather: intense heat or cold coldness?
In my country, the climate is temperate with the four seasons: spring, summer, autumn and winter. Or at least it was. For about two years, summer and winter control the others.

For example, this summer, temperatures of 50 degrees Celsius, a red hemisphere code, were recorded. With fast steps winter is approaching, what will happen this season? Will follow..
