Newsela, “PRO/CON: Did Hurricane Harvey Show the Reality of Climate Change?,” was just recently written pertaining to the massive Hurricane Harvey that happened only a few weeks ago. Wayne Madsen, the writer of “PRO: Yes, Harvey Shows Climate Change is Real,” argues that Hurricane Harvey proves global warming exists. On the opposition, “CON: No, Hurricanes Have Plagued Texas For a Long Time,” Whitt Flora believes that global warming had no effect on this disastrous hurricane. However, logos from the
catastrophe is popularly known as Hurricane Katrina. However, in recent news it appears that we have another disastrous hurricane within our midst. Hurricane Harvey has since devastated the state of Texas, and more specifically the large city of Houston. This article helps to detail the comparisons between the two hurricanes. Although Hurricane Harvey is still in effect, there are many similarities and differences that we can already see between it and Hurricane Katrina. One main difference is the
Hurricanes Harvey and Irma have been some of the few drastic weather cases in America in the year of 2017. Though many agree with this fact, many struggle with the ideas as to why this phenomenon happened and what could have been prevented. Some individuals like Michael E. Mann believe that climate change is the problem; others like Alan Reynolds completely disagree. Michael E. Mann, author of the article "It’s a fact: climate change made Hurricane Harvey more deadly", discusses why Hurricane Harvey
American Hurricane In the past few decades, climate change has widely diffused and been taken into concern by many countries. It is a long term alteration in the Earth’s climate, especially a change due to an increase in the atmospheric temperature known as global warming. Nowadays, not only does this phenomenon put our lives in jeopardy but also leads to natural disasters such as the hurricane Harvey in the United States occurred in August of this year. The damage that the American have been suffering
Did climate change really cause this catastrophe actually yes it did and in the following will explain everything.More than one thousand scientists disagree that human activity is primarily responsible for global climate change. People disagree because they think that it is possibly just a redo from the past because it happens every some years.What I’m trying to prove is that climate change is the problem. Climate change is the problem because the heat warms the glaciers and the glaciers are melting
It's a fact: climate change made Hurricane Harvey more deadly Michael E Mann, publish a story in the Guardian questioning whether climate change made the recent storms deadlier. He did not claim Hurricane Harvey primarily caused by global warming but certainly made an already bad and difficult situation even more so. Mann explains climate change-related factors will have at least some impact on hurricane season activity, say worsened the flooding. One thing that causes Hurricane Harvey to increase
disastrous due to climate change. A variety of factors like rising sea levels and warmer oceans are just a few ingredients that make tropical storms worse. People need to understand that climate change does not cause severe storms, but it is a big contributor in the level of severity of the storm. It is important to know that there is a clear connection between climate change and hurricanes and it is especially important for people to know what they can do to reduce climate change problems, so that
heat waves, change in precipitation, sea-level rises, ice melting, and currently most alarming; hurricanes. So why don’t we seem to care? We’re stuck between an on-going dispute between the effects that we cause on global climate and the policies that should be implemented to avoid these undesirable effects. We are facing the consequences of global warming mainly in result of our burning of fossil fuels and releasing heat-trapping gases into our air. Ninety-Seven percent of climate scientists have
Climate change is caused by greenhouse gases changing the atmospheres surface temperature. Greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide are increasing the overall temperature of the atmosphere every day. But climate change causes more problems than just temperature's rising. Climate change also affects wind patterns, sea levels, precipitation patterns, and air pressure. Global warming contributes to climate change as seen in the recent hurricanes that have affected many places in the world today. Hurricanes
Warming On Hurricanes Global warming has been a widely discussed topic that has sparked up many oppositions on the basis of its effect on our environment. “Hurricanes, Irma, Harvey Restart Debate On Climate Change and Warmer Oceans” is an article written by Stuart Leavenworth stating many oppositions on the effects of global warming and how it's affects our environment by becoming a destructive force that has been intensifying the power and speed of natural forces such as hurricanes.
