It’s Back On! Global Warming Now Causes More Intense Hurricanes

Ugh. I thought the debate was finally over. After two lackluster hurricane seasons where carbon dioxide emissions continue to rise and global temperatures continue to fall, a new study by a Florida State University researcher finds that warming seas created by climate change make tropical cyclones stronger. The article credits MIT’s Kerry Emanuel’s 2005 assertion of this same hypothesis but neglects to mention that Emanuel backed off his theory earlier this year. But I have two problems with this article: one, the Argos buoys found that ocean temperatures weren’t rising and, two, tropical storm system data of U.S.-based landfalls clearly doesn’t show a pattern between intensity or numbers of hurricanes and temperature.
