Climate

Throughout this process i have realized how much different the world would be had not something simple like a cloudy day happened. Prior to this research process i had known about the moment when the atomic bomb was dropped on its secondary target Hiroshima, rather than its primary target of Kokura, due to clouds obscuring the vision, however i have never realized until now how much a simple factor like a gust of wind could have changed the entire bombing situation, and many other historical moments rather they have a major impact or subtle.
      Climate effects the way people live greatly, besides determining things such as to live in a tent of igloo, it also determines food, culture, farming, jobs, and much much more. One modern example is the crisis of migrants in Syria. While many would expect that the migrants are leaving due to the war torn area, that war had motives behind it. One of those being the drought Syria experienced from 2006 to 2011. That drought caused people to move in from rural farming areas to urban areas, and we know how much of an effect that can have after studying the 1920s and its urbanization. I see how this could pass of many peoples heads when they are looking for reasons behind something, but in the end wether it be the atomic bombing or deciding wether or not to go for a run climate has been a factor in everything.
