Climate change linked to Hurricane Strength

Time Mazine's cover for the issue dated October3, 2005 This week's Time Magazine cover story is the linking the ferocity of this year's Hurricane season to global warming caused by human interaction, asking the Question: Are we making HURRICANES worse? While National Geographic has been reportin on this for years, I am hoping that this subject is now going mainstream and will actually become a topic of discussion that will lead to forming a plan and taking action to change the direction that our society is so quickly heading.

Man's impact on the global climate is the biggest danger that the human race faces today. We as a species have to overcome many preconceived notions to face this dilemma and we should know a few things about our enemy. The climate sees no borders, and does not discriminate based on politcal beliefs, religion, skin color, or sexuality, and will surely affect all of us in ways that we cannot imagine in the years to come.

Thing are happening on this planet right now that have dire consequences of for all humans. Accelerating Polar Ice Melt, the deforestation of the Amazon Basin and other large tropical forests, rising sea surface temperatures, massive coral die-offs, droughts, floods and stronger hurricanes are all interconnected and seem to be spinning out of control. For us to really make a difference in our affect on Global Climate Change, we are all going to have to work together as a species.
