What is the world coming to?

• After researching about Alabama history i live in Alabama and now i have been hearing about all type of booms being heard in many places around the world and now all around the world is having tornadoes while they should be having snow it some weird stuff happening with the weather hottest winters on record all around the world. And many places such as Alabama , Georgia , Wisconsin , Detroit have been have loud boom sound and they said its because an earthquake . Earthquake is happening in lots of places now such as tornadoes and warm winters, killing is happening every were. I attend a christian school my teachers said the reason all this stuff is happening because its a sign of the end and that its a sign he's coming back and that's what my teacher tell us any advice on how to stay calm?

• Answer:

  Earthquakes have always happened in various parts of the world, and this is tornado season in various parts of the US. Good grief! Where have you been? We're hearing more about global weather and other events than we once did because of the Internet. I lived through tornados in the 1970's and earthquakes in the 80's; none of this seems new to me or to my older relatives who live in part of the country where certain types of pehnomena have always been common. It IS true, however, that the evidence for global warming is becoming more obvious, and rather than a steady increase to tropical temperatures, global warming, as predicted by scientific models, will involve more volatile weather -- very hot, very cold, and very stormy -- than we've seen in the past. That has nothing to do with "end times". Though you might continue to play along with your teachers on the subject if you're worried about your grades.
