In recent years several studies have focused on the time changes in extreme storms and their losses in the United States. Several of these impact studies used data on catastrophes, which are events causing losses of $25 million or more, based on data from the property insurance industry....
接下来是次生问题,例如海洋酸化会破坏珊瑚礁和自然生态系统。 You have changing wind patterns because ocean temperatures are increasing and storms are getting more intense and also more unpredictable. 因为海洋温度上升,风向规律也随之改变。风暴更加剧烈,且更难预测。 And on top of that, you've got increa...
Roughly three-fourths of Americans, or 74 percent of respondents, said they think weather events are getting more severe. Despite that belief, 42 percent said they don’t have an evacuation plan, and roughly half of all Americans said they don’t have a preparedness kit of essential supplies...

Storms like Typhoon Yagi are "getting stronger due toclimate change, primarily because warmer ocean waters provide more energy to fuel the storms, leading to increased wind speeds and heavier rainfall," said Benjamin Horton, director of the Earth Observatory of Singapore. ...
Looking at the full four-decade span and normalizing their data in a certain way, the researchers found a clear trend: Storms are getting stronger in general, and major tropical cyclones are coming more often. The 39-year period the researchers studied covers an era when climate change ...
Dangling all kinds of camping gear over his raincoat, Da-Song storms through the living room and heads to the garden. He opens the glass door and jumps out into the pouring rain. He then starts building the teepee in the middle of the yard. He’s quick, efficient. A true Scout. ...
