Stormy Days Ahead
Sep 20
In recent research published in the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society, meteorologists found that six of 12 extreme weather events of 2012 were in part due to climate change. This includes storm surges. Rise in sea levels will make hurricanes, like Hurricane Sandy, 50 percent more likely to occur.
“In fact, it’s predicted that by 2100, such events — previously once-in-a-lifetime occurrences — will take place every couple of decades on the Atlantic Coast from Atlantic City southward,” reports an article by American Forests.
