Here at Moravian, I have heard a lot more talk about climate change since
Hurricane Sandy came through. The hurricane seemed to spark the interest in
climate change back up. I was interested in what others were saying so I
decided to check out some sites on the internet about climate change
relating to Hurricane Sandy. There was a lot of stuff out there including
a number of new articles saying how this hurricane brought climate change
back into the Presidential Election and that a number of people are
recognizing climate change as an issues once again. There were also sites more about the science behind the hurricane. The sources I looked at were not saying the climate change caused the hurricane but rather impacted how the storm acted and how bad it was. The sites pointed out how Sandy was affected by climate change with the melting of the glaciers and the oceans levels being higher as well as the water warmer.
Also, in the little search that I did on Google, I came across an article, Political Feedback Loop on Climate Change Has Just Begun, which led me to 350.org. This site caught my attention. 350.org and Bill McKibben (I recognized his name, maybe you do too. He has done a lot of environmental writings from books to articles in the Orion magazine) are traveling around the US to spread the word about fossil fuels and climate change through tours that they say will include lectures and interactive experiences, which will “be unlike any talk you’ve been to before.”. They say “On November 7th, we’re hitting the road to jumpstart the next phase of the climate movement.” If you are interesting in checking out the site and seeing if they are coming to your area here is the link http://math.350.org/
Here are some of the other articles I looked at:
