Climate change has made hurricanes around the world even more dangerous,
Hurricanes are fueled by the heat of the water, which increases their destructive power.
Climate change is increasing the severity of hurricanes around the world. Scientists came to this conclusion.
According to scientists, over the past six years, the wind speed of Atlantic storms has increased by an average of 29 km/h. Climatologists explained that this is due to warming ocean waters, which increases the frequency and power of hurricanes, writes BILD.
The study, published in the journal Environmental Research: Climate, found that from 2019 to 2023, four dozen hurricanes moved up one category on the Saffir-Simpson scale due to rising wind speeds.
The water temperature in the Atlantic Ocean increased by 2-3 degrees Celsius, and in some places even up to 4 degrees. As climatologist Daniel Gifford, the study's lead author, explained, hurricanes are fueled by heat…
