Climate change supercharged Gulf waters behind Hurricane Isaias
Original: Climate change supercharged the warm Gulf waters fueling Hurricane Isaias
Climate Central reports that human-caused climate change raised the temperatures of Gulf of Mexico waters that fueled Hurricane Isaias, making the storm stronger than it would have been in a cooler ocean. The analysis adds to a growing body of attribution science linking warming seas to more intense Atlantic hurricanes, prompting discussion among meteorologists and climate watchers about how rising ocean heat is reshaping storm season risks.
Why now: The storm's intensity has renewed attention on how climate change is amplifying hurricane-fueling ocean heat.
