Hurricane Florence by Lily Loewen
Recently there has been a traumatic and destroying storm, Hurricane Florence. This traumatic storm raged the Carolinas, and was already the 6th named storm in the Atlantic hurricane season. There was a time when hurricanes occurred a few times over years, and there is a theory to why this is happening, and this theoretical reason is climate change. Climate change is not necessarily just global warming, as it is proven that not only the carbon dioxide and methane has increased in the atmosphere, but the Earth's temperature has slightly increased. Hurricanes are fueled by warm air, and the air has definitely become warmer. Although not proven, it is most likely not a coincidence that our Earth is warmer, and there has been much more tragic storms. For the last couple of years there has been so many storms, one after another to the point where the recovery time is minimal. Climate change may be a natural stage that our planet is going through, but this climate change is hypothetically ruining our planet. Finding a way to limit the carbon dioxide and methane may be crucial to saving, not only the land on the shore of the Atlantic, but the many lives of people living there.

This hurricane had me worried. My Grandparents live in Greensboro, North Carolina and I'm thankful that it was quickly downgraded to a Category 1. However, Hurricane Michael also recently swept through the area which was originally a Category 6! It was downgraded to a Category 4 by landfall but it still had devastating effects.
ReplyDeleteThese storms are too frequent and make everyone nervous, for sure.
ReplyDeleteJust think what could happen in the future if the temperature keeps increasing! That to me is the very terrifying.
ReplyDeleteIt is unfortunate that the number of natural disasters, like hurricanes, has increased, compared to prior decades. The human population must reduce their carbon dioxide and methane levels, in order to help prevent further alteration of the Earth.
