It has been theorized that global warming will lead to an increased number and severity of hurricanes, however weather predictions are so incredibly complex that it is currently impossible to know for certain. Some of the most recent global-warming-related predictions failed miserably (predicting an increase in hurricanes in years when the actual number actually decreased).
In general, however, the theory is quite plausible since global warming would mean an increase in atmospheric energy and hurricanes are most certainly a very obvious manifestation of a very energetic atmosphere.
What else can I help you with?
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.
Can global warming cause hurricanes?
If it can, we have not seen them developing as of yet. The number of hurricanes has risen slightly, but the strength and intensity has been shown to have decreased over the past several decades.
Why do some people blame the increasing number of hurricanes on global warming?
Scientists attribute the increasing frequency and intensity of hurricanes to global warming because the rising temperatures in the oceans provide more energy for storms to form and strengthen. The warmer ocean waters can lead to more moisture in the atmosphere, resulting in heavier rainfall and more destructive hurricanes.
Global warming is mostly likely occurring due to an increase in?
yes
Which of the following tornadoes hurricanes tsunamis or earthquakes will increase due to global warming?
Popular opinion might have you think that tornadoes and/or hurricanes might increase in frequency or intensity due to global warming. It is based on the logic that a warmer atmosphere means more energy is available for storms. This is a gross oversimplification. Both tornadoes and hurricanes are influenced by many complex factors, and the specific effects of global warming will vary by region. Such storms may become more common in one region but less common in another. Some models, for example, suggest that Atlantic hurricanes will become less common, but those that do occur will be stronger on average. There is no simple answer. Earthquakes and tsunamis are unlikely to be affected in any noticeable way.
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.
Is there a person called global warming?
Their is no person called Global Warming. Its the phenomenon.
A rise in the Earth surface temperature due to an increase in the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is called?
An enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect which is causing global warming.
What disasters are caused due to global warming?
Hurricanes and tornados are common. Rain is less frequent but is heavy. Doughs are common. by kishan India
What will future hold due the effects of Global Warming?
Scientists have said coastal flooding, terrible weather changes (more hurricanes and tornadoes)
What is a general rise in global temperature called?
A general rise in global temperature is called global warming. It is primarily due to an increase in greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere, trapping heat and causing temperatures to rise.
How does global warming affect cyclones?
Global warming can lead to an increase in sea surface temperatures, which provides more energy for cyclones to form and strengthen. Warmer oceans also lead to more moisture in the atmosphere, which can result in heavier rainfall and more intense storms. Overall, global warming is likely to make cyclones more frequent and more powerful.
