Make sure to spell check & check for "awkward" phrasingMake sure to "cite" sources for all info on each slide (use parenthetical citations or # your works cited & use those #s @ the end of the corresponding info
Suggested Links!• http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/weather/whcat5.htm• http://www.cnas.org/naturalsecurity/consequences/climate-change• http://climate.nasa.gov/effects/• http://climate.nasa.gov/effects/
Climate Change• Is more than just a change in the weather, it refers to
seasonal changes over a long period of time. These climate patterns play a fundamental role in shaping natural ecosystems, and the human economies and cultures that depend on them.

change "affects" to "is"
Tornadoes
• Possible correlation between tornadoes and climate change
• Frequency and magnitude increasing• Massive damage • Particularly important to American mid west
Home
for second bullet point can you give exact #s??? find a graph????for the 3rd bullet point... do you mean more massive damage than tornadoes in the past??? can you give ex????
Hurricanes
• Global Warming green house affect• As the ocean warms hurricanes become
stronger• Stronger hurricanes form in perfect conditions
out to sea • Storms are much weaker and less destructive
when they form closer to land
Home
You may want to tweak your title & add "as" in after hurricanesIt might make more sense to move the "global warming" bullet up to the first position... & add a little info either on the slide or in the notes section... for the 3rd bullet point clarify what you mean in terms of "perfect conditions"for the last bullet point... How does this relate to warming???? This is generally true about hurricanes any way... Has it become more pronounced as the planet warms???
