__Topic 1: ﻿Is The Weather Becoming More Extreme?__ From the research I had, the weather is becoming more extreme, but however just a fair bit. That is because although the weather extremes didn't increase that much, it still increased at a noticeable rate. What is most noticeable is that extraordinary rainfalls, intense storms, and floods are occurring more frequent. In North America, it has experienced more unusual hot weathers and less unusual cold weathers in terms of frequency. There are also more frequent heavy downpours, as well as heavy droughts. If the global warming starts to continue, it is likely that heat waves and heavy downpours will increase in intensity and frequency. We would also have droughts with more severity, hurricanes with faster wind speed, higher rainfall intensity, and more severe storm surge. According to the IPCC, there will be more areas that will be affected by drought, more intense tropical cyclone activity, and increased incidences of increased sea level, excluding tsunamis.
