Paul Beckwith on Hurricane Harvey - what next?

Science of Superstorms. After Harvey, What's Next?

Paul Becckwith

Why was Harvey a Superstorm: expected $ losses greater than Katrina & Sandy combined?

I teach you about how the science of abrupt climate change is turbocharging storms. Global warming has greatly increased ocean surface & deeper water temperatures, warmer air holds much more water vapour & latent heat, & storms are staying in place much longer due to broken jet streams. Blame the Arctic.

Weather statistics have changed. A 1-in-1000 event in the "old" climate has become perhaps 1-in-30 now, & even 1-in-5 very soon. Please chip in for my videos at http://paulbeckwith.net
