A 50 percent decrease in pollution in Europe and the U.S. correlates to a 33 percent increase in Atlantic storm formation.
in Europe and the U.S. correlates to a 33 percent increase in Atlantic storm formation over the past couple of decades.Meanwhile, in the Pacific, more pollution is linked to fewer typhoons. NOAA hurricane scientist Hiroyuki Murakami came to this conclusion by running numerous climate computer simulations to study phenomena that could not be explained by natural climate cycles.
He speculated that since hurricanes need warm water to form and persist, cooling air and seas that result from a decrease in warming greenhouse gas emissions would naturally lead to fewer disastrous events. That's why the Pacific which is suffering due to much pollution from India and China is also seeing more hurricanes.
The air there is warm enough to heat up the seas and cause the naturally-occurring devastating phenomena. In the meantime, the Atlantic has seen a decrease in pollution since 1980. "That's why the Atlantic has gone pretty much crazy since the mid-90s and why it was so quiet in the 70s and 80s," said climate and hurricane scientist Jim Kossin of the risk firm The Climate Service. Kossin was not part of the NOAA study but did confirm that pollution"gave a lot of people in the 70s and 80s a break, but we're all paying for it now."That might seem worrisome until one considers how many more lives are taken from pollution.
