Climate hazards are
natural events in weather cycles. We’ve always had hurricanes, droughts and
wildfires, flooding and high winds. However, we are currently witnessing a
scale of destruction and devastation that is new and terrifying. With
increasing global surface temperatures the possibility of more droughts and
increased intensity of storms will likely occur. As more water vapor is
evaporated into the atmosphere it becomes fuel for more powerful storms to
develop. More heat in the atmosphere and warmer ocean surface temperatures can
lead to increased wind speeds in tropical storms. Rising sea levels expose
higher locations not usually subjected to the power of the sea and to the
erosive forces of waves and currents.
