In Science this week, Richard Kerr has the best summary I’ve seen of recent scientific studies of hurricanes and climate. The occasion for Kerr’s article is a study by Webster et al. on trends in strom frequencies and intensities. Here is the summary of Kerr’s article, “Mounting evidence suggests that tropical cyclones around the world are intensifying, perhaps driven by greenhouse warming, but humans still have themselves to blame for rising damage.” These articles are freely available here.
