Response to Weathering

This chapter was chosen to be the ending chapter in this book. The chapter was structured differently and didn’t take the route of discussing the differences between the Europeans and Indians. Instead it spoke about climate change and the drastic consequences that the weather can have on our living environments.

In all the other chapters, there was a sliver of hope and how changes can reverse the outcomes and destruction. However, with the weather, all the technology we have can not change it. No matter how powerful humans think they are and having control over their environment, nature can always overcome it. We live with this false sense of security that whenever a problem will arise, the scientists will think of solutions but that is not always the case. There have been a plethora of movies showing the destruction of this planet through nature. We just have to imagine, what if one of these movies actually became true?
