Climate Change Made Hurricane Melissa 4 Times More Likely, Study Suggests
Fueled by unusually warm waters, Hurricane Melissa this week turned into one of the strongest Atlantic storms ever recorded. Now a new rapid attribution study suggests human-induced climate change made the deadly tropical cyclone four times more likely.
Hurricane Melissa collided with Jamaica on Tuesday, wreaking havoc across the island before tearing through nearby Haiti and Cuba. The storm, which reached Category 5, reserved for the hurricanes with the most powerful winds, has killed at least 40 people across the Caribbean so far. Now weakened to a Category 2, it continues its path toward Bermuda, where landfall is likely on Thursday night, according to the National Hurricane Center. (snip)
The findings echo similar reports released earlier this week on how global warming contributed to the likelihood and severity of Hurricane Melissa. Each of the analyses add to a growing body of research showing how ocean warming from climate change is fueling the conditions necessary for stronger tropical storms.
Hurricane Melissa is “kind of a textbook example of what we expect in terms of how hurricanes respond to a warming climate,” said Brian Soden, a professor of atmospheric sciences at the University of Miami, who was not involved in the recent analyses. “We know that the warming ocean temperatures [are] being driven almost exclusively by increasing greenhouse gases.”
Melissa has even ended yet, and it’s been less than a week since it crossed Jamaica, and they’re already trotting a study, linked to other cult studies? I call complete and utter bullshit.
For the rapid attribution study, researchers at Imperial College used the peer-reviewed Imperial College Storm Model, known as IRIS, which has created a database of millions of synthetic tropical cyclone tracks that can help fill in gaps on how storms operate in the real world.
The model essentially runs simulations on the likelihood of a given storm’s wind speed—often the most damaging factor—in a pre-industrial climate versus the current climate. Applying IRIS to Hurricane Melissa is how the researchers determined that human-induced warming supercharged the cyclone’s wind speed by 7 percent.
Computer models. Cult bullshit.
— Devastating hurricanes occurred long before the invention of SUVs and coal-fired power plants. Real-world hurricane activity shows little or no impact from global warming. Even the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change 2018 “Interim Report” observes there is “only low confidence for the attribution of any detectable changes in tropical cyclone activity to anthropogenic influences.” —

great
Till I first looked at the document which was of 8430 dollars, I accept that my friend’s brother was like really earning cash in his free time with his pc. T5 Her aunt’s neighbor has been doing this for 10 months and by now repaid the loan on their house and purchased a new Car .

Yet, there it was. Hurricane Melissa with 185 mph winds raking Jamaica.
Teach thinks he is so smart ! He can see that he can easily see that he is much more knowledgeable than 99%, of all all the worlds scientists. He is not going to change his views. They are now dogma.
The data shows hurricanes are statistically no better, no worse, than earlier. And Johnny, there’s no “99% of scientists”. It was a bogus study.
And for “attribution studies”, just think of as an educated guess.
I “attribute” the Bears losing the game to not passing enough on first down.
True or false? Absent a time machine, impossible to know
