While college students are concerned with the effects that weather change have on their lives, experts are more concerned with why the weather is changing so rapidly. Experts are becoming more concerned with global warming. “Climate change cannot be stopped,” said Dr. Ken Dewey, a professor of climatology at the University of Nebraska, in a youtube video. People need to adapt and use climate change as the opportunity to jump forward into new areas of technology, Dewey said. Dr. Tinus Pulles, Editor in Chief of Greenhouse Gas Measurement and Management, also believes that it is extremely difficult to respond to the extreme effects of climate change. According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency, the Great Lakes region is affected by dramatic weather conditions for three main reasons; masses of air from other regions, the geographic conditions, and the Great Lakes and their “moderating influence”, which was stated in the article Why Does Michigan Weather Change So Rapidly, as well. Knute Nadelhoffer, a professor of ecology and environmental biology at the University of Michigan, said greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuels are changing the region's weather and ecosystem according to the University of Michigan website. Could weather change be a warning?
