"Are You Ready for More?" was an article written by Sharon Begley of Newsweek. The article focused on climate change (global warming), and the freak weather that we have seen worldwide over the past few months. Sadly it looks as if this new wave of weather will soon be the "norm" if we as humans and Americans do not adapt.
After reading this article, I found the following to be interesting: 1. Joplin, MO residents had 24 minutes notice prior to the tornado hitting their town to take the necessary precautions. 2. Last year 1,000 torandos ripped across the United States, killing more than 500 people and causing $9 billion in damages. 3. 2010 was the hottest year on earth since weather records began. 4. 14 US states currently have climate adaption plans...36 do NOT!
I enjoyed reading this article. The article definitely points to changes that are going on with weather on Earth, changes that can no longer be ignored (which is what many are still trying to do). I feel as though the message from the article is quite simple, if we as humans (Americans) sit back and do nothing, we will quickly become victims to this changing weather. However, with adapting comes changes which many Americans do not always do a good job with. I would recommend this article to anyone between the ages of 12-18 because this will most definitely be a part of their generation.
Side note: I appreciate all YOUR hard work with the articles of the week this school year. I realize not all articles were exciting to read, but my hope was that you not only learned a few things along the way, learned to become more of an active reader as well. Thank you!
"Are You Ready for More?" by Sharon Bealey was about global warming. It told us that the storms of this year are nothing compared to what is to come. People are preparing for the worse. The climate is making a disastrous change, and it is all the fault of us humans.
Four facts i learned in the article include: The climate has been stable for 12000 years. This year alone, 1000 tornadoes occurred in the USA. Climate change is happening really fast. Some people deny that global warming exists.
Wow! This is a lot to take in. I knew global warming was bad, but I didn't know that it is advancing at an alarming rate and getting worse by the second. I would recommend this article to people who don't beleive in global warming.

Sharon Begley's "In a World of Climate Change, Freak Storms Are The New Normal. Why We're Unprepared for the Harrowing Future" article was very informational.

"Are You Ready for More" by Shanon Begley is summarized as from tornadoes to floods scientists believe that Earth is going through climate change. This climate change. This climate change is believing to cause even more disasters. But others don't think climate change is the reason for these disasters.
Some facts I learned were......... -Missouri was prepared for the tornadoes. -Some people think the climate on Earth has changed recently. -Others believe the disasters are reactions of the climate change. -More than 130 people died in Missouri from the tornadoes happening there.
I think this was a neat article. We already have learned about the disasters happening down South. Especially when we watch CNN.
