Climate scientists warn that the world is experiencing hotter temperatures and stronger hurricanes due to the effects of climate change. Hurricane Helene recently made landfall in Florida as a Category 4 storm, causing widespread destruction and posing significant risks to residents.
According to leading climate scientist Michael Mann, the increased intensity of hurricanes can be attributed to the warming of the oceans. As the oceans warm, they release more moisture into the atmosphere, providing additional energy for storms to intensify. This results in stronger winds, leading to life-threatening storm surges and catastrophic flooding.
