Study: Warming, not El Niño, drove Hurricane Polo's strength

Original: Study says global warming did more than El Niño to turbocharge Hurricane Polo

A new study concludes that global warming played a larger role than El Niño in intensifying Hurricane Polo in the eastern Pacific. The findings, picked up by outlets across the United States, suggest human-caused warming turbocharged the storm beyond what natural climate patterns alone would have produced. The research adds to a growing body of work examining how rising ocean temperatures are strengthening tropical cyclones.

Why now: The study's claim that climate change outweighed a major natural pattern in a single hurricane is striking and widely syndicated.
