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?

warmer winter
Our climate has changed significantly over the past few years. When I was younger I remember taking weekend ski trips with my family, seeing huge amounts of snow. Now, only a few years later we get early snowfall and the rest of the winter is dry and cold. We have also faced major drought issues and wildfires every year where I live. While the place I am is becoming drier, other parts of the world are flooding. What are some ways we can help fight climate change?
