Final Post

As the title says, this is my final blog post, for this module. This has probably been one of the most challenging university projects in being consistent at producing weekly blog posts for two different modules. However, it has been one of the most interesting and engaging projects I have completed to date. 

Some of the key take home messages are that Climate change is increasing the extremity of weather. However, this should not be seen as a future threat, this is happening now, and has been for a while. Extreme weather is not new and figure 1 clearly shows this. 

Climate change is not only changing the frequency of these events, but also seasonality, intensity and duration. Although there is not always the evidence to suggest that Climate Change is causing these changes in weather, and is often hard to differentiate from natural variabilities. I believe that all extreme weather events should be considered in the context of climate change


Figure 1: Major weather events pre 2010

Vulnerability to these changes is what is important. We must focus on adaptation, mitigation and effective management strategies in to reduce the risk of these events, especially for those in extreme poverty.
