Hurricanes Could Be Slowing Down Due to Rising CO2 Levels, And That’s Not a Good Thing
Scientists are warning that an increase in global warming could significantly slow down hurricanes, potentially leading to more destruction.
While slowing down might sound like a good thing, the researchers are talking about the speed hurricanes progress, not wind speed. So this slow down means more time to carve out a trail of destruction with both wind and rain when they hit land.
The stark warning is based on meteorological data collected since 1950, as well as readings taken on more recent storms from the last few years, and forward projections created by computer modelling.
Yup, our friend modelling
“Our simulations suggest that future anthropogenic warming could lead to a significant slowing of hurricane motion, particularly in some populated mid-latitude regions,” says climatologist Gan Zhang, from Princeton University.
“This is the first study we are aware of that combines physical interpretation and robust modeling evidence to show that future anthropogenic warming could lead to a significant slowing of hurricane motion.”
Using detailed climate models, Zhang and his colleagues ran six distinct patterns, based on 15 separate sets of initial conditions, which gave them a total of 90 different possible future scenarios.
In all of those 90 scenarios, the model was told to expect an increase in CO2 levels and subsequent global warming of 4 degrees Celsius (7.2 degrees Fahrenheit) by the end of the century.
Of course, this all predicts doom. But, we can fix with a tax and taking away your freedom and choice. Imagine 2020 being a test drive for what this will look like.
