More Extreme Weather Expected in The
Future
The Earth is warming up fast and we humans are
helping it. According to the National Climatic Data Center weather
extremes are becoming more frequent. There are more hurricanes,
tornadoes, blizzards, flooding and droughts.
So far this century, extreme weather events have
increased by 20 percent. The annual precipitation has gone up by 8
percent. People should keep their sandbags ready. Instead of the
light rains and gentle snowfalls of the past there is going to be
more of it that causes floods. Many of the snow caps in the mountains
around the world are melting and glacier ice is cracking and floating
off into the oceans. There has also been widespread flooding along
the coastal areas. In North Dakota there have been six hundred-year
floods in the last ten years. Last winter a couple of major blizzards
buried California's Sierra Nevada, but the New Year's warm weather
melted it. That caused massive flooding in the Central Valley,
causing 36 deaths and billions of dollars in damage. Even with all
these storms and a large amount of pack snow in the mountains, there
may be a drought in the summer.
The world's glaciers have shrunk 11 percent in the
past century, and, according to the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on
Climate Change) one-third to one-half of all mountain glacier mass
could disappear within the next century. Another concern is the
Antarctic ice shelves which are melting very fast. Two huge chunks,
the size of Rhode Island, have fallen off in the past two years.
Antarctica's temperature has risen two degrees Faerenheit since the
1950's. At this rate most of the East Coast beaches will vanish
within the next 25 years. They are already disappearing at the rate
of two feet per year. The Everglades and Atchafalaya swamps will be
totally underwater.
Everybody talks about the weather and nobody does
anything about it. If we all don't act now the Earth is going to be
badly damaged. Many people are enjoying the warmer weather up here in
Alaska, but this warmer weather may end up hurting the
Earth.
