Extreme weather

irreversible climate change effects requires mitigation and adaptation tools. The poor minorities of society are expected to be more severely impacted by the effects of climate change; generally, these minorities are less educated and geographically displaced in already problematic and polluted areas. These groups may have less capacity to be prepared and to respond to hazards created by extreme weather events and—even less, to be able to recover from climate disasters. To protect disadvantaged segments of society from extreme climate events, awareness of climate change represents a crucial starting point. My research question is: “Is there a link between socioeconomic/educational status and awareness of climate change?”…

Keep the Iditarod Did you now that the dogs are so intelligent that they can pull a sled by their self without anyone telling them where to go? It is true!! The dog are breed for it and they are so smart that they know how to lead a sled better than a person. Some people think that it is bad for the dogs. But the dogs are breed for these conditions and they are in fit for it too. The dogs might look like they are too skinny and will freeze but that is not true the dogs have so much fur…

homes, but businesses and agricultural industries took a big hit. “Icy winds killed hundreds of apple trees, and planting a new orchard was expensive,” Simmons informed. Before the Armistice Day blizzard, Iowa was abundant in apple trees and orchards and the blizzard left the fields bare. Soybeans and corn replaced the old orchards because they were easier and faster to grow. The landscape had changed dramatically after the massive storm. The losses on Armistice Day, back in 1940 were felt in…

Some people may not realize it but weather can impact your health and well-being. There are many ways weather impacts a person. Seeing how everyone is different the effects are different as well. Wintertime brings some people down, while violence has been tied to the hotter months of the year. Extreme weather like hurricanes or blizzards can impact mental health problems. The weather has a way of changing people. One of the most common types of health issue that comes from the change in weather…

change will make it more difficult to grow crops, raise animals, and catch fish in the same ways and same places as we have done in the past (EPA 2016). In addition to food production, climate changes impacts human health. Air pollution leads to asthma and cardiovascular disease. Severe weather causes injuries, fatalities, and mental health impacts. Extreme heat can lead to dehydration, heat stroke, or even death. Climate change also impacts water and food quality. Poor food quality can cause…

plants and animals, but have several products including chocolate, sugar, cinnamon, rubber, medicine, and pineapples. Entering a rainforest is extraordinary in many ways; not seeing the beauty in nature but the rich wildlife found in the rainforest (Learning About Rainforest). The cult of loggers however, are cutting down the rainforest at an illegal matter and organization are working together to stop this deforestation. The nature of the rainforest provides climate regulation, including a…

I have been researching about the weather in Blossom City for the past couple of years but nothing like this has ever happened before so it makes things a lot harder. While trying to figure out the weather I have been also trying to find out why everyone living in the palace is sick. And then that is when it hit me. One day I had an idea about the reasoning for everyone's illness. I told my family “I think I may have found out what is wrong with with the fairies living in the palace.” My…

Vast number of migrations are taking place because their homes, belongings and/or their land has been destroyed or gone due to extreme weather conditions such as hurricane and floods, droughts and pollution due to global warming. With these migrations comes the problem of a pandemic or epidemic and their lives in…

This will be the result of an increase in temperature, extreme weather events and the melting of the Polar Ice Caps, all of which are caused by global warming (Climatehotmap.org, 2016). The escalated temperatures caused by global warming are melting the Polar Ice Caps and speeding up the process of thermal expansion, both of which are causing a rise in sea levels. This global rise in temperature is causing the destruction of natural resources, destructive weather events, droughts and floods…

beginning to see are the horrific weather disasters causing problems in the world. Climate change creates higher temperatures, which can increase the chances of having weather disasters. Weather disasters include wildfires, droughts, flooding, and hurricanes. According to Randy Lee Loftis, writer for National Geographic, out of the 28 cases of extreme weather in 2014, “14 extreme weather events” were made by humans increasing climate change, which was researched by 32 scientists (Loftis 1). This…
