Hurricanes happen for a variety of reasons, with or without human-caused climate change. Many of those elements are affected by climate change, but the science is still complex and evolving.
But it seems to illustrate a commonly asked question — one that takes longer to explain than Lemon or Rohme were given.Hurricanes form when humid air over warm ocean waters flows upward, creating clouds from the water the air releases, according to theThe more warm air, and the more warm ocean waters, the stronger the hurricane. Hurricanes happened before the climate crisis.
"The problem is akin to having a grandparent who dies of lung cancer and who had smoked two packs a day,", a climate scientist with a specialty in hurricane physics at MIT, wrote in an email. "You can say that his smoking made his cancer more likely, but some people who never smoked still get lung cancer, and some who smoked heavily lived until well into their 90s.
"The relationship between hurricanes and climate change is a topic of vigorous scientific debate," Klotzbach wrote in an email. "If you were to email some of my colleagues, they may give you a somewhat different take than what I am going to give you, which highlights the uncertainty that we still have about the relationship.
Klotzbach also said climate change is raising sea levels and increasing the air’s ability to hold moisture, which means storm surges penetrate further inland and produce more rain. But then, warm temperatures can stabilize the atmosphere and reduce a hurricane’s intensity, and there are many other factors that are still being studied.of resources and discussions on the potential links between climate change and hurricanes.
