This article is describing how the 2010 hurricane season will be potentially catastrophic. In addition to the heavy hurricane season ahead, the recent oil spill will have unknown consequences on the Gulf Coast where the hurricanes occur. Some predict that it will drive the oil further along shore, since its already reached the coasts of Louisiana. Others say that it’s not going to make matters any worse than they already are.
I believe that all of these problems have been caused because of humans. The oil spill, obviously, was caused by us. And the heavy hurricane season i believe is caused by global climate change; which humans have caused for the most part. We’re clearly destroying the environment we live in and we can’t even predict what will happen because of it. These unknown hurricane events are just a great example of this.
Hurricanes in the past years are becoming more and more severe and devastating in their effects. The warmer temperatures of the ocean are the cause for this. The warming of the oceans are almost a direct result of human actions on this planet. We need to realize that humans are the real cause of this problem and begin to address it immediately. If we are not to start fixing this problem soon then many more hurricanes will destroy homes, and ecosystems of the regions they hit.
