    Rough Winds: Extreme Weather and Climate Change , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 115min
    For the last few years, and especially in 2011, a new extreme weather event seems to pop up each week. Some decide to stick around: Texas and Oklahoma have been suffering from historic droughts for six months, with no sign of relief. No sooner does Hurricane Irene disappear than Tropical Storm Lee appears to flood Louisiana and stir up wildfires in nearby Texas. We seem beset by more, and more extreme, heatwaves, droughts, wildfires, torrential rainstorms, tornadoes, hurricanes, and blizzards than any of us can remember. Are we witnessing just the normal ups and downs of the weather or is the climate changing? This book arms listeners with the facts about the recent extreme weather so that they can answer that question for themselves. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Mirron Willis.
