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?

time for action
We suffer extreme weather condition these days and even though all the people complain about it, nobody does anything to change it. The easiest thing to do is lay back and complain but we can and we should be reducing our waste.
It is very true, when it comes to doing something, people give up because they think that with only one grain of sand, they will not plow anything without thinking that if everybody put our grain of sand,something can be done before this.
You both are right and if we were all a sand grain in the sahara and if we all changed something there would be a beter wether
I agree
I agree we should stop wasting things by recycling more and if everyone does efforts it will change completely the world.
