John Stevens Views On Climate Change
Is it to late to change? Are you scared when you hear that, “death doesn't have to come sudden and hard. It can come slowly, sublimely?” (Steven). This is the way many people predict that the change in climate will affect us. John Steven, author of climate “Climate change already taking toll, even as we ignore it” argues that the subtle changes in climate have been actually causing havoc in nature and could be deadly. I agree with John Steven because he reminds us that we need to look at flooding as a problem, caused by climate change. Although well not argued, John Stevens also suggests that the melting in the arctic is due to rising temperature brought upon by climate change. One of the biggest issues John Steven points that natural disasters

In John Steven’s article he writes, “flooding already happened in Louisiana, but climate change has made it more likely to happen, and has made it more likely that the flooding will be more destructive.” Many places have regular flooding which are already devastating, but due to climate change these floods are becoming more common and at the moment are devastating but soon will be catastrophic. Justin Worland writer from Time magazine illustrates “Sciences report from earlier this year determined that climate science has advanced far enough that researchers can now accurately determine how global warming affects extreme temperature events, as well as drought and extreme rainfall.” Due to climate change the weather is not only horrible but is getting worse due to the world becoming warmer, and is causing extreme weather. Justin Worland also illustrates “Climate change increases the intensity of precipitation because warm weather leads more water to evaporate forming wetter clouds.” The warmer weather due to climate change has allowed for clouds to be able to store more water and when it’s raining season; the clouds release the abundance of water they have stored and release the water, resulting in flooding’s. This wont change, storms like the one that caused the flooding in Louisiana wont come to a halt, they still will occur. Its something that humans now have to get prepared for and only hope for the
