Extreme weather such as heat waves, storms, floods, windstorms and drought caused three times the amount of weather-related catastrophes in the last 10 years than in the 1960s. Scientists expect this to happen more and more frequently.

The increase of Greenhouse gasses in our atmosphere could cause a whole lot of other, less predictable disasters for our planet. In turn, these events could speed up the problems we face already with water, health, farming, ecosystems and our weather. One problem making another problem worse is called Positive Feedback and here are some examples:
