Pollution may raise hurricane strength globally and in Gulf
A British Nature study cited by AP warns doubling atmospheric carbon dioxide could boost hurricane maximum intensity by 40 to 50 percent overall and 60 percent in the Gulf of Mexico. MIT’s Kerry Emanuel and others say warmer oceans feed more heat into storms, making them stronger and possibly more frequent. Projections depend on when CO2 doubles, likely between 2035 and 2080, with effects including hotter heat waves and higher sea levels.
