Answer:

Gas and oil production may experience a decline or even stop in the future.

Explanation:

Because of the climate changes, it has been noticed that there is an increase in the number of hurricanes, but also an increase in their intensity. One of the regions that is most affected by this is the Gulf Coast, which is also the region where the largest reserves of oil and gas that belong to the US are found.

If the trend with increased number and intensity of hurricane continues in the future the oil and gas industry will probably suffer a lot. It will not be just parts of the year when the production of oil and gas will need to stop, but the possibility of damages to the facilities will be very big. If the facilities start to have damages each year it will simply be economically unjustifiable to continue with the production of oil and gas, so the huge reserves of these natural resources may end up lying there unexploited.
