There has been another worry in the U.S since according to the new technical report the constant effects in the climate will the health of the U.S coastal communities and social, economic and natural systems. The climate changing also has an impact on on coastal ecosystems and kinds of scientific data, planning tools and resources that coastal communities and resource managers need to help them adapt to the different climate changes. Since the coast is highly dangerous during the climate change for example: sea-level rise, erosion, storms and flooding, especially in the more populated low-lying parts of the U.S. coast along the Gulf of Mexico, Mid-Atlantic, northern Alaska, Hawaii, and island territories.
This relates to what we are studying in class because we are studying earthquakes, hurricanes, tsunami's and since hurricanes are caused by the mixing of climate change this definitely relates to hurricanes. Also part of the article related to Hurricane Sandy and it talked a lot about how the climate change was worst near the coast which is true because hurricanes occur most by the coast. Hurricanes occur in water. In conclusion I think this article was very serious and I didn't really enjoy reading it. I think the article should have more pictures to help you explain. Overall I didn't like reading this article but it did have a huge relation to hurricanes which gave me more information about them!
