We Don't Deny Harvey, So Why Deny Climate Change? - The New York Times - 3 views

  •  
    This article targets those who deny the existence of climate change, despite the fact that Texas is experiencing a hurricane. It explains the conditions needed in order for a hurricane to occur and relates them back to a rise in temperature over the years, which supports the realty that is climate change. The article discusses a fair amount of politics, suggesting a unity between parties in order to acknowledge and prepare for what nature has in store, as NASA had predicted a hurricane in Houston some time ago.
  •  
    This article is current and it really challenges the idea of climate change. It is scary to think that these hurricanes are going to get worse. It provides great points to how climate change is getting worse, and how it will continue to increase the amount of hurricanes.
  •  
    This article is very interesting. I can't help but think about how bad the other two hurricanes heading towards the U.S. and neighboring countries are going to be.

    It honestly baffles me that people do not believe in climate change and global warming. We have tons of SCIENTISTS who work day in and day out to collect this type of data and are clearly the experts yet people like Trump want to say it's a "Chinese Hoax".. it makes absolutely no sense!!
  •  
    Climate change is an important issue that has an impact far outside the present. I thought the author made an interesting point at the beginning of his article, when he talked about how after 9-11 we found terror but when it comes to climate change people look the other way.
  •  
    Hurricane Harvey is one of the many signs that climate change is a threat to our planet. The article states that "last year was the third year in a row to set a record for highest global average surface temperature " and since then other studies and reports have only further proven these dacts.

Should climate change be added to the civil rights agenda? - 1 views

  •  
    The author of this piece suggests that we should view environmental issues such as climate change as another type of civil rights movement. She parallels events like Hurricane Katrina to inequalities that African-Americans still face today.
  •  
    This article proposes a great question. Climate change over time has caused many more natural disasters just like Hurricane Katrina; the latest example being given Hurricane Harvey. I feel like people are slowly starting to realize the problem at large.

    It's crazy how this isn't a bigger issue in today's world. Hurricanes are getting stronger, heat waves everywhere, but everything is fine.
  •  
    The greenhouse effect refers to the way the Earth's atmosphere traps and absorbs solar energy
  •  
    More people need to show attention to these issues and start caring before the world goes into a state that we can't turn back from or fix.

Climate Change - An Economic Issue? - 1 views

  •  
    Kathleen Maclay, the author, discusses the economic effect of climate change in the United States within the next 100 years using the information from a study published in the journal Science. The author states that climate change will make income inequality worse due to the mass migrations that will occur. The author recommends that politicians consider what is most important when making decisions about climate change and to remember that it will effect the economy of tomorrow.
  •  
    Mass migration is already happeningredients in today's world due to war. Would people begin to take population migration seriously if it happened in our country today because of climate change? Imagine if Hurricane Harvey had done worse damage and the city had decided to evacuate the affected cities, more people would have to had to migrate elsewhere.

    Scientists predict the future effects of climate change according reports. Temperatures will continue to increase, and seasons will lengthen. There will be more frequent extreme weather and a rise in sea level.
  •  
    Climate change is too often ignored, I'm glad that NASA has ongoing updates about the situation. More people should be accessing this site in order to educate themselves.
  •  
    This is a great article it is also important to know that if we don't get on track it could be too late to reverse the damage. Also how deserts would become even worse wastelands and the weather would be too extreme on earth to be inhabitable.
  •  
    Using NASA as a source for climate change is great. This is a great web source for being able to quickly see what scientists are saying in active research.
  •  
    I found this article to be very informative on the effects of climate change. I was not aware that hurricanes would become worse and growing seasons increase.
