Over the past few weeks, a storm system on the east coast near the southern tip of Florida has been forming, causing many climatologists to predict that we may have a serious storm on our hands. What has now been named Hurricane Matthew is predicted to go from the Bahamas all the way up to New York State and New Jersey. However, with the recent rises in our climate due to global warming, there are perfect conditions available for storms to become significantly more dangerous. The warmer the atmosphere, the more energetic it is, and warmer sea levels increase the severity of storms. There is no guarantee that Hurricane Matthew will be effected by this, but, the evidence shows us that there definitely are chances of it. Some climatologists, like David A. Robinson from Rutgers University, say that storms impacted in this manner could be deadlier than Hurricane Sandy. I fully believe in the theory that Rutgers presents. The warmer climate will create an environment in which storms can stay stable for longer and can effect more areas. I also think that individuals should make effort to be educated on the intensity of storms like this in order to prepare for its effects. The latest storms we have seen have impacted so many lives; it is necessary that all individuals are informed and prepared for these natural disasters. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2016/10/161006115959.htm
