Increased hurricane activity sign of global warming.
There’s an article in the Bradenton Herald today that asks “Did global warming cause Katrina?“. It’s more of the same but at the end this quote adds new weight to the aargument. Why? More and more former long-term climate change skeptics are crossing the floor.
[E]ven if a natural trend is at work in the Atlantic, that doesn’t explain why hurricanes are getting stronger around the world, said Greg Holland of the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colo. A 35-year veteran of hurricane research, Holland said he was skeptical of the impact of global warming impact until recently.“If you look around the globe, this is a consistent change that’s happening everywhere, which leads me to say what’s going on in the Atlantic may not be a (natural) oscillation. It may be a trend related to global climate change.”
