Strange weather seems to have appeared increased over the last few years pretty much around most of the world,
Now what we have to think about is the aspects that may have caused these sudden changes... Global warming? Increase in tropical storms? La Niñaall?
of which affect the weather stream, Some of these cause warm pockets of Air that can intern cause interesting weather changes,
Also something else to think about it that are we just more aware now? Everyone talks about it, Social networking sites ect so it almost engulfs the
fear of something very abnormal happening,
Has this always happened and we just have not noticed it so much or just in our life time?
Who knows, Interesting topic and i look forward to reading what others have to say about it,
Also look in to if the reasons are self induced?
The climate of South Africa is affected by the changes in global climate mentioned in previous sections and more information on this is given
below. However, South Africa is also itself a contributor to the global climate change problem. In 1990, South Africa was responsible for about 1.2%
of the total global warming effect which placed it within the top ten contributing countries in the world. The carbon dioxide equivalent emission rate
per person in South Africa (about 10 tons of CO2 per person per year) is above the global average (7 tons pppy) - although this is still considerably
below that of developed countries such as the United States (20 tons pppy - 1991). The burning of fossil fuels in South Africa is the primary source
of this carbon dioxide.
