Kathryn's latest post.
In the last several weeks, weather-related natural disasters have devastated many parts of the globe. From hurricanes Helene and Milton slamming the southeastern United States while wildfires surged in the northeast, to flooding across Europe, Southeast Asia, and the Sahara desert, there has never been a more pressing need to discuss the global climate crisis. Furthermore, considering the severity of misinformation around climate change and its effects in the U.S., with rumors circulating that the government is causing these disasters with some type of device, it seems imperative that we try our best to combat this misinformation with scientific facts. Therefore, I wish to provide a brief overview of Earth’s unique climate and how anthropogenic – human-caused – global warming affects that climate and leads to more frequent and severe weather anomalies. I will follow up next week on how we can continue to address climate change. The most important message I wish to convey is that there is still time to change the direction we are headed in and save the lives on this planet; but, to do that, we must understand how we got here. Please remember this as I discuss the climate crisis and the science behind it in this post...
Interconnected Planet, continues
