The effects of what global warming is doing to our client has been a question debated for many years. There has been considerable evidence that global warming has been linked to the increase of extreme weather events that could cause widespread devastation across the world. The damages that could be caused by these events could cost millions to even billions of dollars and could be even worse for third world countries that do not have the infrastructure to withstand these powerful events. The extreme
