Human-caused climate change has intensified Atlantic hurricanes, increasing their wind speeds and damage potential, according to recent studies. Research in Environmental Research: Climate found that from 2019 to 2023, human-caused ocean warming raised hurricane wind speeds by 19 mph. Climate Central’s report on the 2024 season showed wind speeds increased by 9-28 mph, moving seven hurricanes to higher categories. Hurricanes Debby and Oscar were upgraded from tropical storms, while Beryl and Milton reached Category 5 due to human-warmed oceans. A 10% wind increase can double hurricane damage, highlighting the severe impact of climate change.
