For this week’s news comment I read an article entitled “Tropical Storm Larry Forms in the Atlantic” from the New York Times. The article discussed a new tropical storm forming and its potential impact. It also went into further detail about the trends from the past few years in regards to tropical storms and hurricanes. I liked the link from this storm to the others that have developed just recently. I also appreciated the reasoning behind why these storms are becoming stronger and more intense. The background information was helpful. 

I don’t think there was anything super problematic about the style of writing nor the content. However, as someone whose interest was peaking because of the title, it did get a little long and the end of it didn’t seem to be absolutely relevant. It went into even more detail about climate change and seemed to stray away from the main point of the article. However, I think I personally would have preferred it this way rather than be left with questions.
