Extreme weather

on weather we need to first understand the difference between weather and climate. Weather is what is happening in the atmosphere, on a given day and location. Examples of such include temperature, wind, and precipitation. On the other hand, climate is more of a broad, generalized condition that covers a region during a longer period of time. Examples of such include warm, cold, wet and dry. In the past decade, with only a two-degree rise in temperature, there has been an increase in extreme…

The warming trend that is associated with climate change could have enormous consequences economically. Eventually, disruptions caused by weather and other factors could lead to lost work and school days, which directly translates to a decrease in trade, transportation, agriculture, and tourism (“Climate Hot Map”). Many localized economies that are dependent upon tourism would be crippled,…

Stephen Battersby, the author mostly discusses the big picture of global warming and its weather patterns on Earth. Further discussion includes how scientist are testing climate models to improve weather predictions. Battersby opening paragraph describes the “summer in March” a 10-day event happening in March of 2012 in North America. Rainstorms brought floods to Pakistan in 2010 and 2011. There was extremes of cold and heat as well. In February on the northern edge of the Sahara desert, the…

wrote the article Fire and floods: Did climate play a role in this fall's disaster? on October 13, 2017. Paulson points out climate scientists agree the warming of our climate has set the conditioning to warrant the abrupt climate changes and all the extreme events, we’ve seen lately. Scientists have connected Climate changes to more severe storms, hurricanes and one of the main causes of wildfires, not to mention, these events are more intense and fire seasons are starting earlier. Paulson…

Mother Nature effects the lifestyle of everyday lives. From the snowy mountaintops of the North, to the swampy lakes in the South, staying prepared for the worse weather conditions should always be a priority. Two articles written about extreme climate conditions were published in November’s edition of American Survival Guide magazine. The first article titled “Submerged in Seconds” was written by Michael D’Angona. D’Angona explains situations for setting up tents in the wilderness, and…

most severe hazards. After examining the results of the HVA the most probable and severe threats were identified. The top hazards that should be addressed by University Hospital’s emergency management team included; civil disturbance, severe winter weather, and…

Space Administration, there is extremely substantial evidence that points to and proves that global warming is a very prominent and real issue. The most notable evidences are rising sea levels, overall increase in the average global temperature, extreme weather events, and ocean acidification, just to name a few. The first thing indicating global warming, is that it’s actually getting warmer. Scientists from NORA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) have stated that: For most of…

large role in climate change with our emission off fossil fuels, aerosols, and CO2 released when manufacturing concrete. Climate change is weather patterns that extend for several years. Climate Global warming is a major effect of climate is one of the biggest problems to find a fix for. Some other effects of climate change are rising sea levels, extreme weather conditions, and impacts our health. Some effects of climate change, can’t be physically seen by the human eye until it is to late.…

put to an end if the general public had access to scholarly databases. The most commonly used excuse as to why global warming does not exist is the harsh winters certain areas of the United States receive. What many people do not know is that local weather and overall climate do not coincide with each other. In addition, environmental changes and actions needed to help slow the process down has become a political issue as well. To begin, global warming is an issue caused by industrial linked,…

In conclusion, climate change impacts greatly on weather and human existence, the patterns of extreme atmospheric activities varies from place to place from region to regions. The impact of climate change on health includes the spread and reemergence of infectious diseases made possible by agents that spread infection like vectors e.g mosquito or pathogens, and disease transmission. The climate change phenomenon may have influenced the development, survival, reproduction, and virulent nature…
