Climate Change Is Making Hurricanes Much Stronger

The strength of future storms like Hurricane Ian will get even greater, according to scientists studying climate change's effect on hurricanes.

When it comes to connecting all the dots between hurricanes and climate change, there's a lot scientists say they still don't know, but climate researchers say Hurricane Ian is exactly the type of monster hurricane to expect in the future, as global heat-trapping pollution keeps rising.

Scientists are confident the number of major hurricanes, with winds above 110 miles per hour, is going up, supercharged by rising ocean temperatures.
