Answers:
A. Warmer seas create stronger storms, but it is still hard to know exactly when and where they will hit. That makes it harder to get ready in time.
B. People need to understand that climate change is interconnected with economics, migration, and public health. The message is simple: it’s not an isolated environmental topic but a thread that runs through every aspect of modern life.
C. In many places, summers are starting earlier, winters are milder, and rainfall arrives in more intense bursts. These shifts are also affecting flowering seasons and animal migration patterns in noticeable ways.
D. Wealthier nations often have advanced forecasting and evacuation systems, but poorer regions may lack even basic warning sirens. This inequality means the same storm can have vastly different consequences depending on where it strikes.
E. I see promise in the rapid growth of electric transport and in local communities restoring wetlands to absorb floods. Yet, I remain concerned because such projects are still small compared to the scale of the problem.
F. Expanding urban areas, overconsumption of natural resources, and excessive use of fossil fuels are major drivers. Such habits increase the amount of greenhouse gases, which amplify temperature changes and disrupt global systems.
G. The pace of the current transformation is far beyond the slow, natural cycles recorded in ice cores and tree rings. Entire climate zones are moving within decades rather than millennia, which challenges ecosystems and human societies alike.
