Climate change makes Atlantic hurricanes more powerful

Global warming has made Atlantic hurricanes significantly stronger, a new study suggests. In other words, climate changes caused by human activities have caused hurricanes to blow with higher wind speed and cause more damage.

According to Tekna Technology Media’s environmental news service, based on this study, in the last six years, the wind speed of Atlantic hurricanes has increased by an average of 18 kilometers per hour. This increase in speed has caused many storms to be upgraded to a stronger category. For example, Category 5 hurricanes, which are the strongest type of hurricane, cause much more damage than Category 1, 2, 3, and 4 hurricanes.

According to the scientific news department of Tekna Technology Media, the warming of the ocean water temperature is one of the most important reasons for the increase in the strength of hurricanes. Warmer waters provide more energy to hurricanes, making them stronger. Also, climate change has caused the Earth’s atmosphere to hold more moisture, which also helps strengthen hurricanes.

Increasing hurricane strength has serious implications for coastal communities. Stronger storms cause more widespread flooding, infrastructure damage and loss of life. Also, these storms can severely damage coastal ecosystems.

The findings of this study have been confirmed by other scientists. For example, other scientists have independently concluded that climate change is increasing the intensity of hurricanes. This study once again confirms that climate change is a serious threat to our planet. According to these findings, serious measures should be taken to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and deal with climate change. To see the latest news, refer to the scientific news page of Tekna Media.
