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?

I am indirectly affected by these increasing storms. I have worry because it is the future in which I will live so how would I want this world to be dying during my life time. I feel that we are put under stress because we need to be the ones to change the ways of humans, and while we are, no one is helping. This affects me directly because It will affect my way of life in the future
I agree, everyone is saying that our generation is going to be the one to get hit most by climate change. Our whole generation needs to become aware of this problem and see what they can do to fix it. We’re the ones that have been adding to the problem the least, why are we the ones to get affected by it the most?
