Recently the world has been afflicted by a seemingly nonstop stream of natural disasters, from Hurricane Harvey to the earthquake in Mexico City, and raging wildfires across the western United States.
Many people are beginning to speculate whether all these events are the results of ever-rising global temperatures. We at The Leaflet have decided to dedicate this issue to researching the causes, effects, and costs of climate change.
We will not only explore how different animals and habitats have been affected, but we will also delve into what these environments will look like 100 years from now.
Further, we will cover how climate change has woven its way into media and pop culture.
We hope this issue helps to inform you on the ever-changing environment and encourages you to inform others and do all you can to prevent any more damage to our Earth.
