Climate change has made hurricanes stronger, adding 16 and 24 mph to Hurricanes Helene and Milton in September, according to non-profit Climate Central.
Furthermore, the report noted that 11 percent of Americans have considered moving to avoid the impacts of global warming, which includes threats such as wildfires in Southern California and sea level rise on the Gulf Coast.
That includes Hurricane Helene, which killed more than 100 people in North Carolina last fall] Unfortunately, scientists have made it clear that more greenhouse gas emissions produced by the industry spell disaster for everything on Earth in the long term.
With stronger hurricanes and longer wildfire seasons, Americans saw the impact of the climate crisis firsthand last year.
And, the warmer the sea surface temperatures, the faster a hurricane can spin,” Daniel Gilford, a meteorologist and atmospheric scientist with Climate Central, told The Independent in January.
