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?

New Yorks wacky weather
In New York when is spring coming? Well who knows with this weather one day it could be 70 the next day it could be like 30 what is up with our state? well some other states up North. Could be pushing their coldness to New York. Why? Well because of climate change! I do not personally like this wacky weather! We've had Snow, Hail, Slush, and Rain! Please stop this weather and get to Spring so we can have very pretty flowers!
I have a question for you. Do you believe that this is because of global warming?
@caitlyno-ny-usa yes i do believe it is because of global warming.
