Climate change supercharged warm Gulf waters fueling Hurricane Isaias
Original: Climate change supercharged the warm Gulf waters fueling Hurricane Isaias
Climate researchers report that human-caused warming raised ocean temperatures in the Gulf, providing extra heat and moisture that strengthened Hurricane Isaias as it moved toward the US coast. The finding adds to a growing body of science showing climate change is intensifying Atlantic hurricanes by warming the sea surfaces that feed them.
Why now: Hurricane Isaias is threatening coastal communities, prompting attention to how climate change may be making it stronger.
