Hurricanes nowadays are popping up left and right and we have to consider the human factor for the cause of this. This article was written for those out this the Caribbean Islands and unaware of the current events going on in the Atlantic. Giving a neutral influence on the Islands. This article is relevant because it opens our eyes to how dangerous and serious these hurricanes are. Helping us consider the fact the global warming is a reality.

All of these hurricanes pose a serious problem for second/third world countries such as Puerto Rico and other Caribbean islands alike. These countries don't have excess money to pay for hurricane damages or hospital costs. This means that more people could lose their livelihood and homes. I agree that all of these hurricanes are a direct cause of global warming, which really needs to be dealt with.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree with you global warming should be dealt with and on top of that based on the places the hurricanes have been, half of the communities don't have the money for it.
ReplyDeleteLiam Wise- I absolutely believe that global warming has a hand in the sudden increase in hurricane activity. We should stop the problem there, take human error out of this equation.
ReplyDeleteIt's really such a terrible thing that all these natural disasters keep happening right after another. I also agree that global warming has helped cause these problems, and think that people need to take it more seriously and try to come up with a way to deal with it.
