Professor: ‘Certainly Climate Change Is Playing a Role’ in Increased Intensity and Size of Hurricanes

RUSH EXCERPT:
TRENBERTH: "Certainly climate change is playing a role because the oceans are a lot warmer. When there’s warmer ocean, there’s more energy, more activity, this means that we expect that the storms will be more intense. They are bigger in size, and they last longer as a result. There may be fewer of them overall because one big storm can actually replace four smaller storms, but when we have these active and this is the sort of thing we expect to see. And it has consequences."
