Climate Change - Increased Storms & Extreme Weather

Abstract

This paper explores the recent increase in storms and extreme weather events through the lens of climate change and its potential influence on these events. The purpose of this paper is to examine the changes in weather, and specifically in extreme weather events, and its incidence with increased anthropogenic factors. This paper considers available studies and data, and acknowledges the need for peer-reviewed studies concerning the causes and degree of extreme weather events around the globe. It is hoped that greater awareness and research may pursue these limitations and better contribute to global policy concerning climate change.
