Human-Driven Climate Change Intensifies Hurricanes

Recent studies have shown a direct correlation between human-driven climate change and the intensification of hurricanes. Hurricane Milton, which struck Florida, serves as a prime example, with its increased wind speeds and rainfall attributed to global warming. An international team of scientists has been delving into how climate change is amplifying extreme weather events.

The research points out that the unusually warm surface water temperatures have led to a highly active Atlantic hurricane season. This warming is a result of human activities that release greenhouse gases, trapping more heat in the atmosphere. The study predicts an increase in the frequency and intensity of major storms if these conditions persist.
