In his story The Lake he gives us a setting of the ending of summer and the beginning of autumn, “It was September. In the last days when things are getting sad for no reason. [sic] The beach was so long and lonely with only about six people on it. The kids quit bouncing the ball because somehow the wind made them sad, too whistling the way it did, and the kids sat down and felt autumn come…

As climate change will affect every stage of the food system from production and processing to distribution and consumption, there will be an immense association with a state’s capacity to trade and their ability to sustain a food secure population. Gardner concludes that the food export capacity of Northern Hemisphere developed countries could rise, while food deficit in the Global South will likely increase (120). Most of the regions of sub-Saharan Africa face structural difficulties that…

The effects of climate change are worse than people believe. When the average American thinks about climate change they solely think about carbon dioxide and various greenhouse gases releasing into the atmosphere or ice caps melting, however climate change dramatically impacts the infrastructure. Rising sea levels, heavy downpours, and extreme heat, all caused by climate change, deteriorate highways, bridges, buildings, water plants, power plants, and most importantly dams. These dilapidations…

experiences more rain as compared to the eastern portion due to the rain’s shadow effect. Singapore’s eastern side receives minimal rainfall and it is also slightly hotter as compared to Western Singapore. Due to this aspect, there may be minor weather disparities between both parts of the island. It is important to note that some geographical elements could lead to such a phenomenon. Even though Singapore is small in size, one area could experience rainfall while the other does not.…

For instance, “Within twenty-four hours, Katrina’s ferocious winds, storm surge, and heavy rains would devastate the Gulf coast of Louisiana and Mississippi, obliterating costal communities and devastating New Orleans.

giving people time much more in advance to prepare for any harsh weather, or even evacuate (Chaddha, & Feeley, 2007, p. 2). Meteorologists use the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer, or MODIS, to observe and predict patterns within earth’s atmosphere, oceans and geography. According to (Kidder, & VonderHaar, 1995), satellite imaging, or the weather satellite, “has become an indispensable tool for meteorology”(p. ix). With weather having such an important role on the way people live,…

Hurricanes are benefitting from the effects of climate change. Humans should be concerned about how climate change intensifies natural disasters, more specifically hurricanes, for it affects our lives and the environment. Places susceptible to hurricanes, such as the Gulf of Mexico and Eastern Pacific Ocean, will be hit by more intense storms in the future if we are not mindful of how to slow down climate change. Hurricanes are formed when the moist air from the surface of oceans rise and…

The Calm Before the Storm Calm. The calm before the storm. The moment before everything changes. The dark storm clouds gathered up in the distance as the sky grew darker and darker and darker. The temperatures dropped, and the air suddenly became still as though commanded by a higher power to do so. An eerie feeling swept across the entire Gulf Coast - the entire country - as people anxiously and silently waited for the coming of Katrina. August 29, 2005 - the day that changed everything.…

There are many snowflakes on Earth during winter; however, it is impossible to find two snowflakes that will look alike. They may have similar features, but that is all. People are like snowflakes.
