2100 Weather Ahead Video.

When we started this video, there were a few things that i had already known ahead of time. I know that global warming will eventually cause many problems with our planet and it's weather. There will be violent storms, more pollution, coastal floods, and many more reprecussions if we dont do something about our environment and how we treat it. Hurricanes, cyclones, and typhoons are all the same thing. They typically occur closer to the equater.

I learned new things from this video as well, though. There is a Earth simulator made up of 1500 computers that predicts future developements in weather. This super computer predicts weather. It shows future temperatures, winds, and water currents around the globe. This computer predicted the first ever hurricane that occured next the Brazil in the ocean. It was the furthest hurricane that far south ever. The computer predicts a world wide increase of storms and category 5 hurricanes. It's impressive, really. It's humans fault for all of the pollution and green house gases that we've added to the atmosphere.

This greatly applies to my topic because cyclones are my topic. Many more will occur in the future if we don't do anything to help our environment fix itself. The storms will occur more often and with more force than before and we need to prepare ourselves against such tragedies. With everything in the world going through crisis, i think it's about time someone does something about it.
