The number of $1 billion Atlantic hurricanes almost doubled from the 1980s to the 2010s, and inflation-adjusted costs have increased more than elevenfold. [64] The increases have been attributed to climate change and to greater numbers of people moving to coastal areas. [64]
The number of $1 billion Atlantic hurricanes almost doubled from the 1980s to the 2010s, and inflation-adjusted costs have increased more than elevenfold. [13] The increases have been attributed to climate change and to greater numbers of people moving to coastal areas. [13]
The 2024 Atlantic hurricane season has come to an end, and it brought a number of particularly damaging storms. Climate change is not thought to increase the number of hurricanes, typhoons and ...
Climate change might make hurricanes more intense but less frequent. Reliable global records of hurricane intensity only go back about four decades, when weather satellites began scientists to ...
Climate change, the long-term shift to warmer temperatures and ocean waters around the world, is providing more fuel to create stronger hurricanes each season.
Climate change can also be used more broadly to include changes to the climate that have happened throughout Earth's history. [32] Global warming—used as early as 1975 [33] —became the more popular term after NASA climate scientist James Hansen used it in his 1988 testimony in the U.S. Senate. [34] Since the 2000s, climate change has ...
The study, published in the journal Environmental Research: Climate, found that 84% of Atlantic hurricanes between 2019 and 2023 were, on average, 18 mph stronger because of climate change.
Articles in this series examine the connection between temperature increases and hurricane trends. Specifically, they address the question of how global warming or "climate change" has affected hurricane trends. Are we getting more hurricanes, or fewer, as temperatures have increased in the last 50, 100 or 150 years?
