The Weather Channel

As Kevin reached the front of the stupefying storm he noticed that the rain didn’t seem to have a particular direction. The rain seemed to have a mind of its own. Moving chaotically and disorderly, but it moved as if it had a purpose. Every step Kevin took seemed to cause a wave, as if he was walking on water. A great ocean of land mass. Everything around Kevin became more and more surreal. The shades Kevin had put in his pocket began to tempt Kevin, as if they were communicating to him. He had…

Nadean Locke Mrs. Gadapee Sophomore Project 5 January 2018 How Climate Change Effects Hurricanes Humans are harming themselves and will continue to for many more years if they do not change the way they live.

The gases in the atmosphere are causing the temperature to rise which will cause many problems for the world (What Is…

Committee, “Climate change poses a ‘current and existential national security risk" to Australia.’” In the present day, climate change showcases its lethal effects on Australia’s land, be it extreme drought in the dry regions, the maximal polarization of weather, destruction of the great barrier reef, and rising sea levels affecting the majorly coastal-residing populations. Not only so now, but in the future as well, with the issues of displacement, equipment and infrastructure sustainability,…

Climate change is a very significant, yet controversial environmental issue that has come to societies attention in recent years. Studies have shown that climate change causes negative environmental changes such as destruction of ecosystems, frequent droughts, and increases in global sea levels (Heath & Gifford, 2006). Although there are many studies that show evidence of climate change and the negative effects it has on the environment, there are still people that refuse to believe that climate…

He has become one of the most popular figures in the science community. In his quote, Nye is talking about climate change, which is a change in global or regional climate patterns such as a change in temperature of a region. Climate change is one of…

He liked the little plan he had, Isaac slowly walked away from his house, moving towards the beach. He wanted to be completely quiet, not alerting anyone in the area. He looked back at his small turquoise house, before continuing on. Isaac looked at the houses in the neighborhood seeing, differences in the structures and the colors. It felt like each house had their own personality. Isaac liked that it was easy to tell the houses apart, while the houses in Vircorden town had very little…

Snores disturbed the morning peace. A big yawn and a large gust of wind russled me enough to wake me. I stretched side to side in order to shake away the nights stiffness. The cave walls were glistening with condensed barbarian breath, and old cave slime, a beautiful sight to behold. I struggled to get up, ready to enjoy the days tasks. First was a morning shower in the cavern waterfall. The cold wilderness water cascading all around always had a restorative effect on what could seem a brittle…

Climate change is defined, according to the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) as an “...increase in global average air and ocean temperatures, widespread melting of snow and ice, and rising global average sea level.” The…
