“Climate change is making hurricanes more dangerous in many ways, including increased rainfall and more powerful storm surge. How much climate change has to do with intensification, however, is still being worked out.” Untrue. nytimes.com/2020/08/27/us/…
“when scientists put the pieces together, they project that in general, hurricanes will become more intense in a warming world, with higher wind speeds and greater levels of precipitation.” ucsusa.org/resources/hurr…
“Physics suggests that as world warms hurricanes & other tropical cyclones should get stronger b/c warmer water provides more energy that fuels these storms. & climate simulations have long showed an increase in stronger hurricanes as warming continues.” nytimes.com/2020/05/18/cli…
“A new study provides observational evidence that the odds of major hurricanes around the world — Category 3, 4 & 5 storms — are increasing because of human-caused global warming... consistent with what scientists expect to happen as the world warms” washingtonpost.com/weather/2020/0…
Vs @nytimes, @bloombergnews gets it right: Human-caused climate change is causing more intense hurricanes AND more forest fires bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
