Understanding the Impact of Global Warming on Hurricane Intensity

The video discusses the early occurrence of Hurricane Dennis and how global warming is expected to intensify hurricanes by increasing ocean temperatures. A study led by Tom Knutson predicts that hurricane strength will rise within 80 years, with potential increases in wind speed, rainfall, and storm surge. The study does not address changes in hurricane frequency, which is a topic for future research.
