Hurricane Earl

Relating to the world becoming "hot", Hurricane Earl is a good example.
The hurricane could be a disaster as it picks up speed,

"Federal weather officials urged residents along the Atlantic coast to take caution and prepare to possibly evacuate their homes this weekend as a powerful Category 4 hurricane was expected to brush the North Carolina and New England seaboards."

The hurricane was a category 2, however, in little to no time, in terms of a hurricane, Hurricane Earl has become a category 4.  Hurricane formations occurr due to high and low temperatures, which is what global warming is producing.  It's alarming as the "hot" aspect of Friedman's book becomes more pressing.  In my relatively short life time there has always been this increase and decrease in temperature, but even I've noticed change over time.
