Warmer Atmosphere

Warmer Oceans

Warmer Land

All of this means more dangerous storms, more droughts, more floods, and climate events of every kind.

Example: The level 5 drought in the Island of Maui was made possible because of climate change. This combined with winds from a hurricane passing south of the island and a spark, or series of sparks, created a Firestorm. The winds sent the flames across land at the rate of a mile a minute (60 mph).

A mile a minute!

The fastest human can run a mile in 4 minutes.
