Over the past 20 years the wind power has increase. It has increase 5% and in the storms about a 10%. The scientist Ian Young have been recording sin 1985 the wind power and he said that "Some regional studies had found similar results, so we suspected there may be an increasing trend,". He record the information using satellite that used a technology kind of like the the natural radar of the bads. Which as the wind blows harder the fainter the echo, giving some measure of the force of the ocean's winds. What causes this is still a mystery, but if this is cause by global warming, this is what Mr. Young says about it "If this is related to global warming—and this is speculation—it indicates that either the intensity of storms is increasing or the frequency of storms is increasing,". Still the consequences of very strong winds can be a desaster for the ecosystem and the cost civilization.
It was interesting for me because it talks about how our plant, our home is changing. Changes are important whether they are bad or good, because depending on the changes we can make decisions and be aware of what are the positive or/and negative things of this change and also what are the thing that we need to change, because as the Earth is changing we need to change with it in order to adapt to it. For this reason is related to my life, because depending on the changes, I may have to change my life in order to survive.

Nice Job...I would like you to provide more detail in your discussion of connections to your life. This was very short.
