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 do some scientists blame for an increase in the strength of hurricanes?

Some scientists attribute the increase in the strength of hurricanes to climate change. Warmer ocean temperatures fuel the intensity of hurricanes, leading to more powerful storms.


Why do most hurricanes in the US occur in late summer or early in the fall?

Because this is when the ocean's waters are the warmest. Recall that the summer solstice is around June 21 (using the northern hemisphere for this example), which is when the suns rays are strongest in the northern hemisphere. It typically takes another month or so for most areas to experience, climatologically, their warmest summer weather. This is because it takes time for the land to heat up and air masses to move poleward. But water takes longer to heat up than land, and it is not until later in August and September that water is at its warmest (consider that Arctic sea ice reaches its minimum in mid-September, which is nearing the equinox)!


Is it your fault your parents are divorcing?

No, it is not your fault that your parents are divorcing. Divorce is a decision made by adults based on their own feelings and circumstances. It is important to remember that the responsibility for the divorce lies with the parents and not with the children.


Why is a greenhouse gas considered a greenhouse gas?

if you're asking why are the collective gases that are damaging the atmosphere called greenhouse gases the answer iswhen sun rays enter the earth to warm it up, when they try to leave the greenhouse gases reflect them back again stopping them from leavingthe earth is slowly heating up from this (global warming) and so people blame the greenhouse gases (which mainly humans are causing)we have called them greenhouse gases because the process of blocking the sun rays from leaving is the same technique that greenhouses use.


What are the main sources of error in a BOD test?

The main sources of error in a BOD test include incomplete sample mixing, temperature fluctuations affecting microbial activity, inconsistent incubation times, and microbial growth from outside contamination.

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.

What is the origin of hurricane?

Hurricanes, Typhoons, Tornados and Cyclones were thought to be the angry breath of the "gods". Most modern meteorologists blame such events on clashes between warm air and cold air and high and low barometric pressure systems.

What is the song that goes don't blame it on sunshine don't blame it on good times?

If you are referring to: "Don't blame it on sunshine, Don't blame it on moonlight, Don't blame it on good times". Then the song you are after is: Blame it on the Boogie, by The Jackson Five.
