The Rise of Unusual Weather Events

My research question will revolve around the idea that strange and unusual weather events, specifically hurricanes, have been on the rise over the past 30 years. I look to draw the connection that this increase of extraordinary events is directly linked and caused by global climate change. My methods of studying this will include a survey of hurricane data the southeastern portion of the United States, where Hurricanes are the most prevalent. I will also study the increase in major superstorms in the area over the last 30 years. I will look at frequency, intensity, and the extent of the damage these hurricanes cause. I will then research climate change and the increase in global temperatures in the oceans and on land in the area. I hope to conclude that these major events are on the rise and a direct result of climate change. No broader implications will be necessary of my findings
