USA Today: Talk about your summer bummer. The number of Americans sweltering through stifling heat waves could well quadruple over the next few decades, according to a study Monday in the British journal Nature Climate Change. As if that weren't enough, a separate study in the same journal said hurricanes are likely to become more intense, even as their number declines. In the heat wave study, researchers said people living in Atlanta, Charlotte, Dallas, Houston, Oklahoma City, Phoenix, Tampa and San...

Climate change altering frequency, intensity of hurricanes

ScienceDaily: Climate change may be the driving force behind fewer, yet more powerful hurricanes and tropical storms, says a Florida State geography professor. In a paper published today by Nature Climate Change, Professor Jim Elsner and his former graduate student Namyoung Kang found that rising ocean temperatures are having an effect on how many tropical storms and hurricanes develop each year. "We're seeing fewer hurricanes, but the ones we do see are more intense," Elsner said. "When one comes, all hell...

Study: East Pacific hurricanes peak 2-3 years after El Nio

Summit Voice: As a giant pump that redistributes global heat, it`s no surprise that El Nio affects the formation and timing of hurricanes. In general, meteorologists see that El Nio conditions sometimes suppress hurricane activity in the Atlantic. But less is known about how the cyclical surges of warm water at the equator affect Pacific hurricanes. A new study suggests there may a delayed reaction, with peak hurricane in the northeastern Pacific happening two or three years after an El Nio peak. The climate...
EPA: Climate change cant be stopped, prepare for wildfires, hurricanes, rising seas

Blaze: The Environmental Protection Agency released a grim report Friday that said it must start planning for the worst possible effects of climate change, and predicted a future world filled with rising sea levels, raging wildfires and more severe storms. All of these factors will combine to create droughts, expose humans to dangerous chemicals and create other conditions that will put the human race at risk. The EPA says climate change can`t be stopped, and is preparing for the worst. "These...
