A final thought

Over the past weeks, we have witnessed extreme weather events occurring in the present, examined how extreme event trends may alter in the future, and how they have appeared to change from past to present. When it comes to predicting the future, however, I hope I emphasised how uncertain these projections and speculations are: I found this article on the BBC News just today questioning current climate model data..

Saying this, there is the general consensus within the scientific community that events such as hurricanes and coastal flooding are to increase in some regions in the future. Predictions can only be as good as current model data, and at the moment it is agreed we are living in a warming world. This will lead to rising sea levels, higher levels of moisture uptake into the atmosphere and warmer oceans.
Unfortunately, all of these factors add to an increased chance of hurricane formation and flooding...so keep hold of your hats!!
