Former Vice-President of the United States, Al Gore has released a statement on his official blog regarding Hurricane Sandy and his views on how climate change may have had an effect on it. Gore states that Sandy was “strengthened by the climate crisis” And adds that “As the oceans and atmosphere continue to warm, storms are becoming more energetic and powerful.” Perhaps through arguing that climate change has such effects on natural disasters, perhaps the government will take more action on sustainability and the reduction of greenhouse gasses to prevent the growth of already chaotic natural disasters.
What are your thoughts on Al Gore’s statement? Do you believe in the impact that climate change causes to natural disasters such as Sandy?
