Too Many Hurricanes
Honestly, we could do a full slideshow on hurricanes alone. But it would take approximately 14 hours to get through and frankly, the image above drives home just how out of control this year was. Atlantic hurricane season set a slew of records from most storms to ever form to most landfalls in the U.S. to some of the most destructive storms to ever make landfall in November.
We’re going to be dealing with the fallout of the 2020 Atlantic hurricane season for years to come, particularly the damage it did to countries in Central America after back-to-back major hurricanes in Eta and Iota. The season is a reminder that we don’t just need to shore up our forests for the impacts of climate change. Coastal areas are vulnerable and when massive storms do hit, the poorest among us suffer the most.
