October 7, 2024 - That “climate change” — undefined and usually unquantified — is making weather patterns more adverse is a given among the chattering classes, but it always is useful to examine

October 14, 2020 - Mike Pence: “With regard to hurricanes, the National Oceanic (and Atmospheric) Administration tells us that...

August 4, 2023 - Stronger wind speeds, more rain, and worsened storm surge add up to more potential destruction.

August 31, 2021 - An analysis of satellite imagery from the past four decades suggests that global warming has increased the chances of storms reaching Category 3 or higher.

February 6, 2024 - Despite what you may have heard, climate change is not actually causing more hurricanes—activity has actually been decreasing slightly since 1900, data from the American Meteorological Society show. That is only half of the story, however.

September 29, 2022 - They are becoming more damaging, but not more frequent

November 11, 2020 - North Atlantic tropical storms are stronger for longer when they hit land because of global warming.

Increasingly destructive hurricanes are putting a growing number of people and communities at risk.

May 29, 2019 - Pulled from the Fourth National Climate Assessment report published in November 2018, this FAQ explains what we know about the connection between global warming and Atlantic hurricanes.

August 30, 2017 - Research suggests a warming world will have less frequent, more intense tropical cyclones.

November 20, 2024 - Hurricanes are getting stronger, and humans are primarily to blame, according to a new study by Climate Central.

We've broken down everything you need to know about hurricanes, how scientists are using global climate models to predict storm intensity, and how climate change is having an impact.

Since 1970, nearly 60% of the flood-related, non-storm-surge deaths from tropical storms have been caused by inland flooding. Scientists are very confident that climate change is making hurricane deluges worse by increasing rainfall rates and the sheer amount of rain a storm can produce.

November 29, 2022 - As Hurricane Florence barrels into the Atlantic seaboard, causing widespread evacuations and millions in expected damages, I’m reminded of the other…

October 11, 2024 - As climate change accelerates, hurricanes are becoming more intense and destructive, bringing heavier rains, stronger winds and devastating storm surges. Hurricanes Helene and Milton serve as stark examples of this—both storms grew stronger due to the warmer waters of the Gulf of Mexico and ...

October 10, 2024 - Records leave us with a sense that hurricanes are getting more frequent, stronger, scarier. But is that the case?

October 8, 2024 - Neither does the category, which measures wind speed but not rainfall or storm surge. In 2012, only two hurricanes hit the U.S., and both were Category 1 at landfall. But one was Hurricane Sandy, which caused · tens of billions of dollars in damage up and down the East Coast. To put it simply, warmer ocean temperatures fuel more powerful storms – and climate change is driving ... The Atlantic Ocean, where hurricanes that hit the U.S. form, and the Gulf of Mexico just off Florida, have been ...

In today’s hyper-politicized world of climate science, hardly a thunderstorm passes without somebody invoking the “scientists say” trope to blame it on carbon emissions. The logic seems to be: If it’s bad, it was caused by carbon emissions, and we are only going to see more and worse.
