Scientists Eye Global Warming's Role in Severe Storms Kate Kahle

Scientists are connecting the world's long term global warming (this is the warmest year on record) with increased danger and unpredictability of storms. One of these storms was the recent hurricane Hermine, which severely damaged Florida. Scientists point to higher ocean waters due to melting and warmer waters as a cause for more sever storms. Scientists say that one of the reasons Hermine was so devastating is because of the above normal temperature of the storm's water it got stronger as it progressed inland.

I think that everyone, especially major governments need to realize that global warming is a real problem that affects them, and pass legislation to help stop the unchecked emission of ozone depleting gases. The storms created by climate change are hurting infrastructure, so it will cost less for governments to pass eco friendly legislation than deal with the consequences of letting the planet be destroyed unchecked. There have been major climate changes on this planet before and they usually result in the extinction of whatever is the dominant species of that period. Humans need to realize that this is the only planet we have and we need to take care of it or face our eventual extinction.
