The events of natural disasters this year has proven to be costly. Over on climatecentral.org, Andrew Freedman reports how expensive it has been to clean up from several natural disasters this year nationwide. All of these events can be linked to an unstable climate due to global warming. As global warming continues - and it will as long as emissions are not broad-scale curbed - these climate related disasters will only continue and get worse. There will be more of them and they could become costlier and costlier. Remember, these natural disasters not only take our money, they take human lives as well.
If you have been affected by a natural disaster this year, either through your pocketbook or otherwise, I urge you to send your elected officials a message that this cannot continue. Demand that they make the tough but necessary decisions to curb emissions and mitigate the climate changes that are already taking place. Remind them that soon it will not just affect your pocketbook, but theirs as well.
