What's Up With The Climate ?

Recently I have read an article called “Will Climate Change Get Some Respect Now?” by Nicholas D. Kristof (columnist, New York times) about how the weather may vary now that there is more frequent climate change.

According to this article there are several reasons that humans should brace themselves for what types of weather they are soon to face. Humans should start to prepare themselves for hurricanes which are caused by the warmth of the ocean, some climate change being natural variation and some being created by humans. Computer models say, hurricanes won’t occur more frequently but they just may be come stronger when they do occur.

Climate change tends to add moisture to the atmosphere. In other words, when storms do occur, chances are they will have more moisture to them such as rain and heavier flooding.

This article also tells about how there has been climate change so frequently lately that there are debates taking place about what we, as humans can do to prevent the climate change from taking place so often. Although there has not been much talk on climate change during the presidential election it is still considered to be a major issue now and days.

Kristof speaks about how the democrats and republicans were silent about climate change throughout the whole entire election of 2012. He says, “The failure is odd, because in other areas of national security Republicans pride themselves on their preparedness. Romney doesn’t want to wait until he sees an Iranian nuclear weapon before acting so why the lack of action on climate change?” In which he states that there is no sense of priding yourself on being prepared for attacks and wars,  if you can’t pride yourself on preparedness for the safety of your country.
