How Hurricane History Has Hidden What's Coming
Season 3
Episode 2
Both climate models and the laws of physics are clear: more greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere means warmer air and oceans, which means more energy for bigger, stronger hurricanes. So why haven’t we seen a clear signal from climate change in the hurricane record? This episode explores groundbreaking research on this question and looks ahead at what we can expect in the coming decades.
