June Avant English 101 November 22, 2010 Global Warming Controversy Global warming is an increase in the average temperature of the earth’s atmosphere which causes climatic changes. Global warming leads to changes in rainfall patterns, sea level, negative impacts on plants, wildlife, and humans. Al Gore and Daniel Botkin both have great points about global warming. Botkin has a scientific perspective about global warming; however, Gore’s position is better. Al Gore uses facts and evidence to support his views about global warming.
Also the United States has the most tornadoes every year. The reason this is the best climate is because the cool are from the poles are mixing the he hot, tropical air and then forming the cyclones. When disaster strikes, poorer nations look for outside help. The role of more developed countries is to assist in any way possible. Many outside countries will send in missionaries, food, toiletries, and clothing for the affected country.
Within the Loop Current there is warm water that extends fairly deeper than the water surrounding it. Hurricanes usually churn up slightly cooler water allowing for some weakening of the storm; however a hurricane moving over the Loop Current churns up warmer water that extends deeper into the ocean. Camille's extraordinary strength could be blamed in part due to the assumption that it tracked directly up the axis of the Loop Current. After landfall, Camille dropped torrential rains on the southern states with anywhere from 2 to 11 inches of rain. Camille eventually strengthened somewhat as it moved more inland bringing major destruction to the state of Virginia with damage to property and life.
Tornadoes are responsible for more than $1 billion annually (adjusted to 2007 U.S. dollars) in property damage and for disrupting thousands of lives and businesses. On the local level, the impact of a tornado can be devastating within the area that it destroys . When a tornado hits a human environment, however, more extensive damage can happen. The impact of the tornado can include releasing chemicals, oil, and other toxins, into the environment, doing more extensive damage over a broader area. While this is not a major concern, especially compared to other potential causes of damage, it is a reason to make certain potentially hazardous materials are secure.
Potential for emergency exist which may result in loss of power and the high winds associated with this disaster. FLOODS: Floods are the most probable natural cause of emergencies or disasters at Ashford University. Spring thaws and ice breakups may cause some lowland flooding. Summer or fall storms are more likely to be responsible for major flooding. STRONG STORMS: Winter storms with snow, ice and freezing temperatures in various combinations, are fairly commonplace at Ashford University.

It is not restricted to just one country, state, or person. Everything we do has consequences to our environment and we all need to be aware about what affects it can have. "Data gathered from surface weather stations, ships, buoys, balloons, satellites, ice cores, and other paleoclimatological sources indicate that the climate of Earth is becoming warmer" (Hess, 2014, p. 103). Most people use the term Greenhouse Effect and global warming interchangeably.
The same response channels are utilized in both terrorist attacks and natural disasters. Experts contend that as a result of global warming, we will be experiencing an increase in weather events such as flooding and hurricanes. The sheer number of natural disasters will result in police agencies across the nation responding to more disasters. Regardless of how homeland security is defined, the threat of terrorism is a driving force as we advance homeland security at all levels in our
Haiti also has large rivers that overflow in the rainy seasons and dry up during the dry season. The most recent hurricane/tropical storm was Isaac which hit Haiti August 25, 2012. It dumped massive rain which caused flooding and very strong winds. The last recorded hurricane prior to Isaac, was Tomas in 2010 which caused massed flooding and mudslides. According to CBC News World, “The storm hit Haiti's rural western tip hard, flooding the refugee-camp homes of quake survivors.” (2010).
While hurricanes can produce extremely powerful winds and rain, they are also able to produce high waves, damaging storms, and tornadoes. Hurricanes are
