In recent years, discussions on the influence of global warming on the weather pattern of the Earth are attracting attention. One such argument that is receiving increasing attention in the scientific community is how global warming affects the frequency and intensity of hurricanes. This problem has also attracted the attention of many media since the particularly strong hurricane season in 2005 produced the devastating storm of Katrina and Rita. But before answering the questions raised in the title of this article, we must first investigate; what is a hurricane?
Global warming affects the intensity, frequency and severity of hurricanes, but the fact remains that hurricanes lose strength or dissipate to the land formed on warm water. The fuel that drives the hurricane is the latent heat released when water vapor condenses into the rain. As the cold air goes down, it gets warmer and then rises. However, in the movie, this law of physics was rebutted by Jack Hall, one of the leading characters when air in the center of the supercell insisted "suddenly dropped". Obviously, this supercell is a very low pressure area and the cold air (-150 ° F to -101 ° C) from the troposphere soon inhale into the surface of the earth and immediately all the things it touches I will freeze it. This concept violates ideal gas law
Is mankind the main factor of global warming by burning fossil fuels? maybe. However, if the frequency and intensity of a hurricane is some factor, humans may not be the main cause of global warming. Perhaps the main reason for climate change is unknown. After all, millions of years ago the Ice Age and climate change wiped out the dinosaurs. Let's hope that the doctrine of global warming will disappear as quickly as dinosaurs
Research published by Massachusetts Institute of Technology since 2008, Kerry Emanuel, suggests that global warming may increase severity but may reduce the frequency of hurricanes and hurricanes. In the article by Nature, Kerry Emanuel expresses potential hurricane destruction, a measure that combines the strength, duration, and frequency of hurricanes. Fully documented climate signal including decades of vibration and global warming in the North Atlantic and North Pacific. Emmanuel predicts, "The damage from hurricanes in the 21st century will be greatly increased."
The expected increase in strong hurricanes is huge - by the end of this century the frequency of the fourth and fifth storms has more than doubled - the Atlantic Ocean in the western has seen the greatest increase. As global warming continues, by the end of the century the world's sea level rises by 1 to 4 feet, hurricanes can penetrate into inland regions even stronger than today.
