, in which a team of geologists used state-of-the-art techniques to investigate seabed sediments.
When preserved, these tempestites provide a standing record of the largest storms, particularly intense tropical cyclones, and set a benchmark against which contemporary and future storminess can be assessed, according to the study published inThe authors, who are also from the University of Stirling and University of Bremen, said tropical storms are usually confined to Mozambique but renewed ocean warming as a result of climate change could once again allow them to move south, with potentially...
“However, an increasing trend in the intensity and duration of tropical cyclones associated with warming sea surface temperatures and upper ocean heat content in the southern Indian Ocean has been observed in the last two decades.” “Higher sea surface temperature and strong positive Indian Ocean Dipole events due to global warming are likely to lead to more intense, frequent and southward tracking tropical cyclones, whose impacts will be significantly greater than those of the present and the historical past along the coast of Southern Africa.”
Intense.... could.... in future..... how is this even news. It's like saying it's going to rain sometime. Jeez. Covid is dying. Time to restart the climate crusade.
