Some scientist blame for an increases in the strength of hurricanes?
Many scientists are blaming the warming of the earth's oceans, a result of anthropogenic climate change, for the documented increase in the strength of hurricanes. The same cannot be said for the frequency of hurricanes, which does not appear to be increasing aside from temporary increases (and decreases) in natural, multi-decadal oscillations.
What are the uses of climate change?
climate change is when the earth might be falling apart so some of the uses is that a global warming is what powers up tornadoes and hurricanes and others
Does greenhouse and global warming have anything to do with hurricanes and typhoons?
Hurricanes and typhoons are weather. Climate is a longer term look at how weather averages out over the years. So one severe tornado is not evidence of climate change and global warming. But if the numbers and the severity of weather events change over time, then that may be a part of climate change caused by global warming.
What does the Fourth Report of the IPCC say about hurricanes?
The Fourth Report of the IPCC (The United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change), Climate Change 2007, said:There has been an increase in hurricane intensity in the North Atlantic since the 1970s, and that increase correlates with increases in sea surface temperature.The observed increase in hurricane intensity is larger than climate models predict for the sea surface temperature changes we have experienced.There is no clear trend in the number of hurricanes.Other regions appear to have experienced increased hurricane intensity as well, but there are concerns about the quality of data in these other regions.It is more likely than not (>50%) that there has been some human contribution to the increases in hurricane intensity.It is likely (>66%) that we will see increases in hurricane intensity during the 21st century.
Can a hurricane be caused by a human?
No. Although it has been proposed that human-caused climate change may affect hurricane activity, humans cannot directly cause hurricanes.
Can hurricanes cause climate change?
No. It's the other way around. Climate change can affect hurricanes.
How did the climate change during Hurricane Katrina?
The climate does not change during or as a result of hurricanes.
How does a hurricane cause the climate to change?
They don't. It is believed that climate change can increase the number of hurricanes.
How does climate change affect hurricanes?
Scientists predict that climate change will lead to "weather events" that are more frequent and more severe.

Which property of the wave makes it louder - high amplitude or high frequency?
Amplitude as it becomes higher then loudness increases. Frequency does not change the intensity any way.
Do hurricanes have a weather geologic or human cause?
Hurricanes have a cause rooted in weather. They can be influenced by geographic formations and there is some evidence that human induced climate change can influence them as well, but not cause them.

What are problems resulting from global climate change?
more forest fires, hotter summers,heavy snowfall,severe hurricanes
