This is a simple matter of energy. As the Earth warms, it gains energy....which is all heat really is. As the Earth gains energy, the mechanisms behind storms (which can be extremely complicated) work to release this energy in an attempt to create a balance. More energy in the system will equal more energy released in storms. We can expect more powerful storms with increasing frequency if the Earth continues to warm.

Does global warming cause avalanches?
Global warming is unlikely to cause avalanches directly. They are usually caused by runoff from heavy rain and intense storms. Global warming is expected to cause more intense storms and could therefore be an indirect cause of avalanches.
Is the super typhoon haiyan man-made?
No. But the conditions that allow stronger storms (that is, global warming) IS ... at least in part.
What does global warming have to do with coastal erosion?
Global warming is causing climate change, and one of the changes is that weather events like storms have got more energy, from the extra heat in the atmosphere. Storms, linked especially with king tides, have the power to remove sand dunes, wear away rocks and cause severe coastal erosion.
How can increases in the earth's temperature lead to powerful cyclones?
Increases in the earth's temperature from global warming are putting extra heat into the oceans and atmosphere. Storms and cyclones need energy and this heat is extra energy which is expended in storms.
What is the future for tornadoes considering climate change for global warming?
A warming climate means there is more energy in the atmosphere. This shows itself in more severe and more frequent weather events like tornadoes, cyclones and storms.
Does a hurricane cause global warming?
No, Hurricane Katrina caused flooding and terrible damage to humans and property, but it did not cause global warming. Global warming is caused among other things by man burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) and putting greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.
Will hail storms increase because of the global warming?
yes
Does global warming cause avalanches?
Global warming is unlikely to cause avalanches directly. They are usually caused by runoff from heavy rain and intense storms. Global warming is expected to cause more intense storms and could therefore be an indirect cause of avalanches.
How does global warming affect storms?
The warmer earth's temperature is, the more frequent and energetic tropical storms will tend to become.
How can storms be affected by global warming?
Because of global warming the temprature of the earths atmosphere increases and due to which ice on the glaciers is melting and sea level rises .the chance of coming stroms increases.
Do floods cause global warming?
No, but global warming is predicted to cause floods and may already have contributed to some of the recent record floods. Global warming is also predicted to cause prolonged droughts in other regions.
Is the super typhoon haiyan man-made?
No. But the conditions that allow stronger storms (that is, global warming) IS ... at least in part.
What does global warming have to do with increasing hurricanes of greater and greater force?
One of the predicted consequences of global warming is that "weather events" such as storms, hurricanes, droughts, floods, etc, will become "more frequent and more severe."
Does global warming effect snow?
Global Warming has the potential to increase the number and severity of storms. Because of the greenhouse effect, gases in the atmosphere trap and retain heat, slowly inching up the overall temperature of the globe. This extra heat brings more moisture, which creates more snow when conditions are right. Just because it's called Global Warming doesn't mean that there will be no snow or no cold weather. Climate Change actually brings more extreme weather like hotter summers, colder winters, and harsher storms. (For example the snow storm of 2010 that pounded the East Coast of the United States).
What are the economic losses due to pollution?
The more polution there is, the more danger we are in due to global warming. Global Warming causes more storms, and with more storms more buildings and cars get damaged. If more cars get damaged, then we have to keep on making money, and the more money we make the more chaos is caused in Earth. If we took care of the Earth and our surroundings, then Global Warming wouldn't excist and we wouldn't have to worry so much.
Why is global warming a serious threat to your environment?
Global warming is causing climate change, which may mean that weather events like storms and hurricanes, droughts and heat waves, come around more often and more severely.
Do snow storms have anything to do with global warming?
They might have. A warming in one area, like the Arctic, can lead to increased precipitation somewhere else, like North America. If the temperature there is low enough, the precipitation is in the form of snow. Extreme weather events are one of the possibilities caused by global warming.
