Had there been an update to this analysis since 1973?

🗣️"Can you imagine if I bumped your personal temperature up 3F, how you'd be feeling? Not well. The [ocean] is not feeling well, it has too much energy & it needs to get rid of it somehow. The way that it does that is with hurricanes." - @danielgilford.bsky.social

This is good advice. I also consider representation in my reviewer recommendations! Do my recs capture the vast diversity and breadth of experts in my field? We need to intentionally and expressly nominate more women, poc, scientists outside the west, etc.!

This science has fascinated me for years. It’s a common phenomenon that children observe, but didn’t have clear answers until recently.
This is science beautiful: satisfying the curiosity of children with illuminating peer reviewed research!

Waters out there are still off the charts. June and November this year especially were extraordinary.

Hello Bluesky!

I’m a climate scientist and hurricane expert who loves comic books, narrative, and science communication.

John Morales: Human-caused ocean warming fueled recent hurricanes, study says Ocean temperatures made higher by human-caused climate change are fueling more intense hurricanes in the Atlantic.

“Findings show that maximum wind speeds for all 11 hurricanes to date in 2024 were increased by 9 to 28 miles per hour because of elevated sea surface temperatures caused by climate change.” www.nbcmiami.com/weather/hurr...

1.6°C = 2.9°F

The climate of the 20th century is gone.

Thanks for the boost :)

BBC World Service - Science In Action, Faster, Wetter, Worse Tropical Storms Every 2024 Atlantic hurricane was intensified by warming climate, with categories raised.

Atlantic hurricanes are 1 category, 30km/h, stronger because of climate change according to a new study by @climatecentral.bsky.social
BBC Science in Action starts with @danielgilford.bsky.social on the sleuthing and the impacts.

Thanks for the wonderful conversation, Jeff!

New: Climate Central study shows climate change increased the intensity for most Atlantic hurricanes from 2019 to 2023 and for every storm in 2024.
30 of 38 hurricanes in the study reached intensities roughly one category higher compared to their expected strength in a world without climate change.

🗣️"When the climate increases in temperatures, when the atmosphere gets wetter, conditions are more conducive. allowing hurricanes to have a higher speed limit."
