Recently Hurricane Harvey struck Texas causing severe damages and flood. The rainfall resulted in the most rain for one event in the U.S. The storm created over 50 inches of rain east of Houston. Climate change is to blame because increasing temperatures. The more heat there is the faster water evaporates. A lot of evaporated water gives more rainfall. 7 percent of rain fallen caused from global warming. Another climate problem is the sea level rising. A high pressure of wind can cause water to hit the coast. Many costal flood were detected in Houston. Climate change is real and making natural causes worse.
