Mother Nature Takes Over

       October 31,2012 article "Will Climate Change Get Some Respect Now?" By Nicholas D. Kristof, Columnist, The New York Times it could be true that Mother Nature and her children ( The Storms ) could be starting to take over.After Hurricane Sandy it's said that there could be even worse storms. Gov. Andrew Cuomo of the New York says he told President Obama the other day that it seems"we have a 100-year flood every two years now." The NY Times has reported that three of the 10 biggest floods in Lower Manhattan since 1900 have occurred in the last three years.

        A NASA Climate Scientist , James E. Hansen says " For the extreme hot weather of the recent past, there is virtually no explanation other than climate change."

     If weather was to get worst there could be rain and more flooding since climate changes add moisture to the atmosphere , rising seas create higher normal sea height for future storm urges. Reasons like this could cause a lot of damage if storms like this do happen. Storms could cause important things to be pushed back such as voting, important school programs or something could be happening at adults' job.

     My honest opinion is that maybe it could be the people on Earth causing the climate to change. It could be pollution, littering and people just not taking care of the Earth. If a climate change was to struck Earth right now and destroy it people would cry and be sad because they lost their homes, jobs places they really care about. Only thing is if people were causing the Earth to have this climate change then why not start changing now.

This article kind of reminds me of the movie 2012. Strange how all these storms and other destructions are happening in 2012.

Could this be people causing this problem of climate change?
Or could it just be regular mother nature causing this climate change?
Questions, Questions.

  2. Good post Brinea. Most scientists believe that climate change is being caused--at least in part--by humans. It seems that cars release a lot of carbon dioxide into in the air and this increasing the temperature of the earth. 100
