The Case of Hurricanes and Climate Change I NOVA Now

The 2021 Atlantic hurricane season is halfway through and, like 2020, is expected to be an above-normal hurricane season, as estimated by NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center. As of September 14, there have been over a dozen named storms, including major hurricanes Grace, Ida, and Larry, that reached Category 3 status or higher. Computer climate models predict that rising ocean temperatures—warm water being fuel for hurricanes—impact storm activity.
