Traditional air pollution from factories and cars — the dirty air of smog and small particles — reflects sunlight and cools the atmosphere,. That cooling effect from air pollution probably helped decrease the number of storms in the 1970s and 1980s, which was a quiet period in the Atlantic.
But since Europe and the United States cleaned up much of their air pollution, the Atlantic has gotten stormier during hurricane season, while just the opposite is happening in Asia where air pollution is increasing, a new study said. Experts said the decrease in air pollution and increase in Atlantic storms is likely a permanent condition now.
The theory behind the cycle has to do with ocean currents, salinity and other natural cycles on a global scale. But recently some scientists have started to doubt how big a factor, if any, the cycle may be and whether it was really air pollution and now climate change altering the cycle.On top of all those weather factors is the problem of humans.
But the storms came back when the pollution disappeared and as climate change worsened. Add in La Ninas, insurance that makes it easier to rebuild in dangerous areas, “and now we’re paying the piper ”with more and fiercer storms and more people and buildings at risk,” Kossin said.
forget the poisoned atmosphere and plastic oceans a second, why are two of those hurricane decals backwards
So basically just another hurricane season 👍
They say the same thing every year. I think someone isn't good at math.
