Teleconference: Briefing on Major Advances in Climate Research Since Last Hurricane Season
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 5 - A long series of peer-reviewed research articles published since 2005 has dramatically established the link between human-induced global warming and growing hurricane activity, according to leading scientists from the nation's top climate research institutions. And, a major study to be released next week, conducted by 19 climate scientists, provides the final piece of the puzzle mapping out the linkage between global warming and hurricane activity.
In the past climate models had predicted that hurricane intensity would increase as global average temperature rose. However, over the past year, scientists have shown that increase is already underway. In a series of 16 studies, leading researchers have clarified various aspects of the link between increasing hurricane intensity, frequency and global warming. They have also examined alternative explanations for an increase in global hurricane intensity and found little data to support these alternatives.
