Summary:
Hurricane Maria hit Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, the US Virgin Islands, Dominica, as well as a few British overseas territories. The category 2 storm tore through Puerto Rico and left citizens with no water, power, or road access. 4,000 members of the US Army have been deployed to assist with recovery efforts. The hurricane is now making its way along the coast of North Carolina.
Analysis:
Within the past few months, there has been a terrible increase in the amount and severity of natural disasters in America and its surrounding countries. For me, it raises questions about the condition of the environment and the effects of global warming in these situations.
I agree that the increase in natural disasters is raising questions about the effects of global warming. There has to be a reason as to why this is happening. If it is global warming, it is up to us to fix it in order lessen these disasters.
