For example, when examining hurricanes and typhoons, the lack of a high - quality, long - term historical record, uncertainty regarding the impact of climate change on storm frequency and inability to accurately simulate these storms in most global climate models raises significant challenges when attributing assessing the impact of climate change on any single storm.

On the other hand, as Emanuel emphasizes, there is no evidence that the global frequency of hurricanes is rising.

In the end, Mooney concludes, the evidence lands on the side of those who believe that hurricanes are changing along with global warming.

There are a lot of things going on — floods, hurricanes, droughts, and whatever — that can't even be attributed to global warming right now.

That record could help climatologists understand decade - and century - long variations in hurricane patterns and begin to unravel the impact of global warming on storm cycles.

Others argue that global warming brought on by the increased production of greenhouse gasses will lead to larger hurricane zones and more powerful storms.

While Heartland continues politicizing science, demonizing credible scientists and using tobacco industry tactics to forge doubt over global warming, Americans are feeling the real toll climate change is already taking on society, by increasing the severity of storms like hurricane Sandy or pushing droughts, wildfires and heatwaves to new extremes.

And this is on top of ongoing efforts by the administration aimed at «preventing scientists who believe there might be such a link [between global warming and more intense hurricanes] from speaking out.»

Though this is still a subject of active scientific research, current computer models of the atmosphere indicate that hurricanes are more likely to become less frequent on a global basis, though the hurricanes that do form may be more intense.

And when Hurricane Alice landed, residents took a crash course on the impact of global climate change.

It was very unfortunate for the truck when global warming gave the large body on frame vehicles a bad name, so the automaker's advertising departments began marketing Sport Utility Vehicles, and everything was great until gas prices skyrocketed after Hurricane Katrina and new car buyers were looking for 4 cylinder cars instead of V6s.

If recent headlines are a reliable barometer of the state of the world — «43 Missing Students, a Mass Grave and a Suspect: Mexico's Police»; «Egyptian Judges Drop All Charges against Mubarak»; «Boehner Says Obama's Immigration Action Damages Presidency»; «U.N. Panel Issues Its Starkest Warning Yet on Global Warming» — then it seems that we are living in an age of intense violence, unbridled corruption, purposeful gridlock, and such persistent environmental degradation that frequent drought, flooding, and hurricanes have become the new normal.

We appreciate your interest in our recent paper on Atlantic hurricane frequency and global warming.

Accordingly, the book is very wide ranging topically, covering issues from the discovery of the puzzling roots of cholera's epidemiology, to the effects of large storms on the behavior of the insurance industry, to the social disruptions arising from hurricanes and warfare, to the roots of the problems with the global economic system — and much in between.

On the issue of messaging, storms and warming, see a great post by Dan Kahan of Yale examining George Lakoff's assertion that «global warming systemically caused Hurricane Sandy.»

The second is related to the Storms and Climate Change post and is a perspective by Kevin Trenberth on the potential for a hurricanes and global warming link.

Unfortunately for policymakers and the public, while the basic science pointing to a rising human influence on climate is clear, many of the most important questions will remain surrounded by deep complexity and uncertainty for a long time to come: the pace at which seas will rise, the extent of warming from a certain buildup of greenhouse gases (climate sensitivity), the impact on hurricanes, the particular effects in particular places (what global warming means for Addis Ababa or Atlanta).

Dr. Christopher Landsea — past chairman of the American Meteorological Society's Committee on Tropical Meteorology and Tropical Cyclones — says «there are no known scientific studies that show a conclusive physical link between global warming and observed hurricane frequency and intensity.»

What we mean by premature is that there is no evidence in the literature to support a claim that global warming has resulted in demonstrable effects on hurricane impacts, whether they are measured in terms of economics or otherwise.

Finally, for another perspective on hurricanes and global warming, pretty consistent with that written here, see:

Do you really think the fact that waters are warmer and atmospheric moisture content is higher now due to man - made global warming (not to mention the «blocking high» over Greenland due to Arctic climate change) may be less of an influence on Hurricane Sandy than some other currently unobserved changes to our climate that occurred 3000 years ago?

There are some physics - based theories regarding the nature of climate change yes, but the ONLY way to test them is on the basis of the sort of evidence that climate scientists have been collecting for many years now, on, for example, global temperatures, ocean temperatures, sea level, frequency of drought, hurricanes, rainstorms, etc..

There was another twist to the hurricanes / global warming issue in Science Express on Friday where a new paper from the Webster / Curry team just appeared.

If hurricanes like this have hit with some regularity in the past (which they have), is it not jumping the gun a little to slap down a global - warming tag on it.

When discussing the influence of anthropogenic global warming on hurricane or tropical cyclone (TC) frequency and intensity (see e.g. here, here, and here), it is important to examine observed past trends.

4:38 p.m. Updated I read Mark Fischetti's piece on global warming and hurricanes in Scientific American just now, which points to a recent PNAS study finding «a statistically significant trend in the frequency of large surge events» from tropical cyclones in the Atlantic.

It depends on the signal - to - noise ratio, so for global temperature in recent decades 20 years has been about enough, for CO2 concentration 4 years is more than enough while for hurricane frequency 50 years is probably too short.

The reactions to Katrina in over the past week illustrate that any statement by scientists on hurricanes and global warming carries with it political significance.

Kerry Emanuel, who's been studying Atlantic Ocean hurricanes in the context of climate change for decades, spoke on the Warm Regards podcast about the mix of subsidized seaside development and rising sea levels driven by global warming.

After reading your post, Kerry Emanuel's website I feel strongly that there is a strong consensus on hurricanes and global warming in the scientific community (in spite of media reports and advocacy statements to the contrary).

However, I don't agree that Al Gore is sensationalizing hurricanes — what Gore is saying is certainly in the realm of possibilities, and although Gore's general message is dead on (and I do think is being confirmed by events such as rapid arctic melting), I don't expect 100 % certainty in his predictions (especially since it seems that the lessening of snow on Mt. Kilimanjaro isn't due to global warming.

We will at some point post something on the climate / hurricane arguments, but a basic fact is that there is a huge difference between claiming that global warming trends will tend, statistically, to lead to more / larger hurricanes, and attributing specific events in specific years to such causes.

On the global warming context, it's worth noting that while sea surface temperatures are hot, a more important factor for hurricane intensification (among many) is «tropical cyclone heat potential» (which includes the temperature of deeper layers of seawater that get churned up as a tropical storm passes).

So in terms of near term impacts of global warming, the risk of increased hurricane activity is pretty high on the list of things that the public is worried about.

On the other hand I like Dr Curries approach, which seem to have picked up a global trend in cyclones, but I wont be surprised if cyclone studies including hurricanes fall into Dr Lindzen's dolldrums (the only thing he constantly argues correctly is a diminishing equator to Pole temp difference slowing eveything down).

BTW, am I misremembering or has Emanuel said here for the first time that there's now a clear connection between global warming and hurricane activity (albeit not yet detectable in the North Atlantic basin when taken on its own)?
