Environmental Effects Of Hurricane Sandy

In the afternoon of October 29, 2012, I chilled at home during the melancholic day, but suddenly, Hurricane Sandy struck New York City. As soon as I was chilling at home, more news reports were pouring in about the tragedies Hurricane Sandy has brought such as extreme howling winds up to 90 miles per hour at Islip, extreme flooding at Seaside Heights, power outages, and fire at Breezy Point. Because of these extreme effects Hurricane Sandy has brought to us, it was a sign that people were to blame for strengthening Hurricane Sandy because of the emission of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere that contributes to global warming. Ever since the Industrial Revolution started in the 1700s the emission of carbon dioxide has been the major problem for frequent occurrences of natural disasters because we are living in the time in which Earth is starting to warm up. Furthermore, carbon dioxide has taken its contribution as a major “greenhouse gas” in which it prevents heat from sunlight from escaping Earth. Because of the continuation of emission of carbon dioxide from burning fossil fuels such negative aspects are caused by a warm climate change such as melting of glaciers, stronger hurricanes, and more heat waves and
Also, people can walk or ride their bike frequently to different places instead of riding their transportation to save energy and reduce the emission of carbon dioxide into the air. As a matter of fact, it helps their metabolism stay balanced by exercising more to reduce their risk of obesity. With these continuous effects reduced, stronger storms would not form frequently and ocean levels would not rise above the average sea
