Climate Change
This article about the impending climate change occurring in California really caught my interest because weather has been very irregular and seems to be changing constantly. One week it will be extremely hot, which is normal for summer weather, but then the next week it will be cold and almost rain. Maybe this irregular change is the coastal influence the state has, but as mentioned in the article it is the effect of global warming as well. The author includes several references from climate scientists, and they do not know the initial source for this irregularity except for the fact that their observations lead up to a major hypothesis that the climate is in fact changing rapidly. Nature is major evidence for the climate change, just as on of the climate scientists mentions the butterflies' adaptability to the patterns. Similarly humans must adapt to the changing weather, such as frequent flus and cold symptoms, which is the body's immediate way of homeostasis. This fitful bout of climate irregularity will disturb the pattern of adaptability every living thing, even plants, live with. Climate is a major factor that shapes a living being's environment and surroundings to be able to biologically live comfortably. The impact of these little changes will surely be a major impact for the future, where glaciers will melt, ultimately increasing the world's mass of water. In addition, animals' migration habits and patterns will change accordingly, and this is already happening now, so what will become of the future?

Hi Shivani!
ReplyDeleteYour article topic was interesting because it has been an issue of debate worldwide for many years now.
It seems that the climate change is very evident now and that is a little scary. If nature itself is reacting already to this increase in temperature, it won't be long before humans too and our geography will be affected.
Your commentary was basically just a recap of the article. You didn't include your own thoughts and feelings toward this change. Remember this is meant to be your analysis!
