Climate change is making hurricanes worse

Climate change makes storms like Dorian more dangerous

▪ Sea level rise makes storm surge worse
▪ Increased rainfall
▪ Stronger storms get stronger
▪ More storms appear to be rapidly intensifying
▪ Hurricanes and tropical storms move slowerhttps://t.co/aRqcrGdypw

YaleE360: New research suggests that climate change has made stalled Atlantic storms more common, and that they are more dangerous because they stay in one place for a longer period of time, potentially concentrating their destruction. nytclimate reports: https://t.co/jFxg3IV7ve

Hurricane Dorian made landfall.

There’s a bunch of toxic coal ash sites in its path. 101 across the nation are in high risk flood areas.

Stronger storms and storm surges from climate change are going to expose more people to pollution from such sites.https://t.co/iXfWo5t0OW pic.twitter.com/ClCfyFbilR

Since records began in 1851, #Dorian is the slowest moving major hurricane (something that scientists have linked to a warming climate). This is what happens when a storm just sits like a blender over the Bahamas. pic.twitter.com/5qxHKfh7N7
