Three storm systems were named in the Atlantic on Friday, using the last name on the National Hurricane Center’s list for 2020 hurricanes and forcing the agency to start using names from the Greek alphabet.

Tropical Storm Wilfred was named late Friday morning and was just over 600 miles west of the Cabo Verde Islands, according to the National Hurricane Center. It poses no threat to land and is forecast to weaken over the Atlantic next week.

Global warming is the term used to describe the increasing average temperature of Earth’s atmosphere. Climate change is all of the side-effects that result from global warming.

This graph, based on the comparison of atmospheric samples contained in ice cores and more recent direct measurements, provides evidence that atmospheric CO2 has increased since the Industrial Revolution.

One of the consequences of global warming is that of stronger and more frequent storms. Warm air absorbs more moisture than cooler air. Warm, moist air is necessary for hurricanes to form.

I am politically left by U.S. standards, although I'd be considered moderate in most European Countries. I believe in universal healthcare, a UBI, equal opportunity to education, and expanded democracy. I think the free market works best for most industries. However, I am convinced that some industries, such as healthcare and education, do not respond to market forces and should be publically funded. Additionally, I believe industries that damage and destroy the environment should be regulated. My views are my own, and they do not necessarily represent what other people on the left believe. In that sense, LeftViewpoint is "a" left viewpoint, not "the" left viewpoint.
