Global Warming And Hurricanes

While most of us have at least vague understanding of global warming and its political significance, many may not be sure how exactly this phenomenon is affecting the Earth. Though there is some debate on the subject, there are some scientists who believe that global warming is leading to an increase in both frequency and intensity of hurricanes.

What is not debated is that there has been an increase in the frequency of severe hurricanes in the last few decades. Katrina is just one more powerful, category five hurricane that has battered the Gulf region. The possible connection between global warming and hurricanes has to do with the temperature of the water.

Hurricanes form over warm tropical waters, and there are some who believe that the warmer the surface sea temperature is, the more intense and frequent the hurricanes will be. As global warming continues to increase, some scientists claim that so too will the frequency and severity of the hurricanes we experience. It must be noted, however, that not all scientists are in agreement on this connection between global warming and hurricanes. There are many noted experts, however, who say that the writing is on the wall. We just have to be willing to read it, and be prepared to take action to put an end to global warming.

At stopglobalwarming.org, we believe firmly in the power of numbers. We have a team of virtual marchers dedicated to investigating and putting an end to global warming before it is too late. We invite you to become a member of our virtual anti-global warming team and take part in our virtual marches.
