Climate change supercharged Gulf waters behind Hurricane Isaias
Original: Climate change supercharged the warm Gulf waters fueling Hurricane Isaias
Climate Central reports that climate change supercharged the unusually warm Gulf waters that fueled Hurricane Isaias. The analysis links the storm's intensity to human-caused warming of ocean temperatures. Scientists have repeatedly warned that warmer seas give hurricanes more energy, and this case is being cited as another example of how rising temperatures are making storms more powerful.
Why now: A climate research group's finding connecting hurricane intensity to warming oceans is drawing attention amid ongoing debate about climate change and extreme weather.
