From this point, it should be build a flood protection system and provide timely weather forecast. Hurricane Katrina is not just the only

Empowering the Community to Adapt to Climate Change BACKGROUND Bangladesh, a low-lying country is known globally as one of the most vulnerable countries to climate change. Factors contributing to its vulnerability includes its biophysical resources, particularly water which is highly sensitive to climate variability and change, along with high population density, high incidence of poverty, inadequate infrastructure and limited financial resources. This makes water resources, coastal zones and its

Introduction Climate change is increasingly becoming a local issue as cities and counties consider its affects and implement mitigation and adaptation strategies in an attempt to limit its potential damage. Florida is particularly vulnerable to the effects of climate change. The state has over 1,200 miles of coastline, almost 4,500 square miles of estuaries and bays, more than 6,700 square miles of other coastal waters, and a low-lying topography. In addition, most of the state’s 18 million

The warm water feeds additional warmth and moisture into the atmosphere which results in storms and rainfall in some areas and drying in other areas around the globe (Ahrens 2015, p.215). 2.

atmosphere profiles Earth's climate and weather outlines making some areas more liveable than others. Nevertheless, Earth's climate is not inert, for instance the ozone layer regulates how variable climate is, and how rapidly does it change. The Ozone’s influence on climate consists principally of variations in temperature ( Brodeur, 1996). The less ozone in a given section of air, the less heat it retains. The layer additionally determines other physical factors that control climate, and how do they interact
