Climate change supercharged warm waters fueling Hurricane Isaias

Original: Climate change supercharged the warm Gulf waters fueling Hurricane Isaias

Climate Central reports that human-caused climate change made the Gulf of Mexico waters unusually warm, providing extra energy for Hurricane Isaias as it moved toward the US coast. Scientists say warmer-than-normal sea surface temperatures, driven by rising greenhouse gas emissions, allow storms to intensify faster and carry more moisture, making events like Isaias more damaging.

Why now: Hurricane Isaias is an active, developing storm threatening the US coast, drawing attention to climate change's role in intensifying it
