How climate change is making hurricanes more dangerous

Stronger wind speeds, more rain, and worsened storm surge add up to more potential destruction.
Major hurricanes are by far the world’s costliest natural weather disasters, in some cases causing well over $100 billion in damage. There’s now evidence that the unnatural effects of human-caused global warming are already making hurricanes stronger and more destructive. The latest research shows the trend is likely to continue as long as the climate continues to warm.
