5208 ‎$a‎The recent devastation of hurricanes Katrina and Rita provides a stark reminder of the power storms have to destroy both lives and property. If the majority of climatologists are right, we can expect to see an increasing number of such storms as the worlds's climate changes. While the precise cause of climate change and the subsequent governmental response may be debated, few scientists doubt that climate change is a reality and that within this century, the Earth's climate will undergo substantial changes with huge consequences. Those changes will increase the globe's average temperatures, alter wind patterns, and raise sea and inland water levels in many places. The result will likely be more devastation of the sort wenessed in Katrina's and Rita's aftermath
