The Frightening Affect of Climate Change on Georgia

As I’ve written before, we are experiencing climate change, which is the result of human activity. At the same time, it is happening in every corner of the world, so there is no escape from it. Climate change is a complex, multi-faceted phenomenon, and it is becoming increasingly obvious that we need to act quickly to protect our way of living and our way of living our way of life.

One of the easiest things to do now to help protect our way of life would be to reduce our carbon footprint, but that alone is not enough.


We need to reduce the amount of stuff we put into our environment so that we can reduce the amount of stuff we put in the environment and we also need to reduce the amount of stuff we consume so we can reduce the amount of stuff we consume and so on.


I know you’ve probably heard about the “frights” associated with the rise of climate change, and some of you have probably even done something about it yourself. In the past few years, a lot of our own personal actions have helped make the world a less unpleasant place for so many, but the real solution is to do something about it.


For example, the last few years have been a bit of a hot and cold year for Georgia, as the state has experienced temperatures that are either extreme or just downright cold. So when extreme temperatures hit, many people are taking advantage of the situation and are leaving their kids at home. That's why many of us are now heading out to the woods, like the one we see in the latest video.


One of the biggest problems our climate is causing is heat waves, which can be bad for everyone when they’re intense.


Heatwaves can be caused by the sun heating up the earth, causing the atmosphere to get very warm. When that happens, the result is that the atmosphere does a really great job at keeping the heat at bay, but it doesn’t do a very good job at letting the heat out.


Heatwaves are one of the biggest causes of death in the world, and the impact that they have on children especially is devastating. The biggest way that climate change has been affecting Georgia is with the extreme heat. The extreme heat from the sun is affecting our climate so much that they are now calling the heatwave that Georgia experienced a “heatwave.” And that doesn't sound too nice.

That sounds like an understatement.


Georgia is currently experiencing the third-warmest year on record (and its the hottest year on record in my opinion), as well as having one of the hottest summers in the contiguous United States (it has been hotter than any other state in the USA since June of 2009).


The only way to know for sure what the weather will be like in Georgia in the coming months would be to go out and do some serious measurements. In fact, you can go to the website for the Georgia Dept of Natural Resources to get a map of the state.
