Class December 3rd

I read up on the chapters and found it extremely interesting when I came across chapter 14. I liked learning the factors of climate change. Some of the factors such as something as consistent as ocean circulation can exchange heat within the atmosphere affecting the climate/weather. I also liked reading up on North American Deep Water (NADW). I believe I have understood why it has become vulnerable with something so little as a disturbance within the thermohaline circulation. Reviewing the projected precipitation changes was fascinating because we are the cause of these changes and if something does not change soon then we will have to face the inevitable consequences. The ways to stabilize or slow down these rapid climate changes that we have been experiencing are ways that seem so simplistic. For example, buying a hybrid, drive less, use public transportation, etc.
