Nature in its essence is the embodiment of My Name, the Maker, the Creator.
Its manifestations are diversified by varying causes, and in this diversity there are signs for men of discernment.
Nature is God’s Will and is its expression in and through the contingent world.

Global warming and storms
Since 1980, ● storms with winds stronger than 124mph
(200 km) per hour have doubled, and ● storms with winds stronger than 155mph
(250 km) per hour have tripled.

Why are storms becoming stronger and more devastating?
![Page 37: Why Climate Change Matters - The Impacts of Climate Change · Shah Fahad et Al., Plant Sci., 29 June 2017. Malnutrition and Hunger “Following years of steady decline, hunger is](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060521/604f3a07eb20b933064cc187/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Why are storms becoming stronger and more devastating?
● Winds pick up energy from warmer ocean waters
● More heavy precipitation (rain and snowfall) because of more water vapor in the atmosphere
● Storm surges are more destructive because of higher sea-levels
● Slow down of polar vortex (jet stream) makes storm linger longer in one area

The polar jet stream can be several miles deep and more than 100 miles wide, with the strongest winds typically 5 to 10 miles above the ground. The fastest
winds are in red; slower winds are in blue. Credit: NASA
