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?

Extreme Weather
Human pollution has caused some sorts of extreme weather but is it too late to reverse the effects? The answer is no but many are unsure of where to start. We can start by slowing the flow of greenhouse gases. the next thing we have to do is learn to adapt to the current climate we have. Although in some places it is not suitable it has to be done. This will include behavioral change. Things like recycling and electric cars are behavioral changes.

I do not want to sound pessimistic but, as our global climate is raising with all the pollution as well as the gas emissions, the arctic circle is also melting and within it a lot of trapped gases that are highly efficient on the GreenHouse effect.
To go with this idea, the less ice we have on Earth, the less sun ray are reflected into space and so it maintains the rise of global temperatures.
So we can say that the more we wait,the more difficult it will be to handle our environmental crisis
Of course that is only my own opinion and I wish we can find a solution in the future.

Unfortunately, extreme weather seems to be getting worse and worse. It is an effect of global warming and there is science to prove this. As of this week in the United States, the temperature in Colorado has change 50 degrees Fahrenheit overnight. There are also many many storms in the Atlantic right now. We must take action.
