Detailed explanation-1: -Long-term human-caused ecological change is caused by? Deforestation, climate change/global warming, ozone layer destruction, and the mass-extinction of plant and animal species. Describe the effects caused by global warming/climate change.
Detailed explanation-2: -“It is true that climate change does not cause hurricanes, ” says Andrew Dessler, director of Texas Center for Climate Studies and professor of atmospheric sciences at Texas A&M, “However, we can say with very high confidence that the hurricane was more destructive due to climate change.”
Detailed explanation-3: -Hurricanes are powered by the release of heat when water that evaporates from the ocean’s surface condenses into the storm’s rain. A warmer ocean produces more evaporation, which means more water is available to the atmosphere. A warmer atmosphere can hold more water, which allows more rain.
