When it comes to roaring up hurricanes and the nature's furies, global warming is to be blamed straightaway, making no much effort to ponder on it. Despite, global warming and climate change being the present day 'buzzword' that is believed to spawn stronger tropical cyclones, experts do not seem to be ready to blame it all on any of the two without further investigating on the matter.
hurricane felix picks up steam and becomes categor
2007, though considered as the hurricane season as a consequence of global warming, scientists are not ready to blame it straightaway on climate change - they are trying to stay pragmatic with their outlook and reasoning.
The unprecedented back-to-back punch of two Category 5 hurricanes, Hurricane Felix and Hurricane Dean, in the same season that occurred for the first time on record, may have led many to making assumptions towards global warming impact - but, climatologists has warned them against.
Kerry Emanuel, a Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor of meteorology said,
My guess is that the high intensities of Dean and Felix had more to do with when and where they formed and tracked than with global warming per se.
So, while on one hand, the two maximum-strength hurricanes could be an evidence of climate change impact, a persistent high pressure weather system's -- usually located further northeast around Bermuda - leading to both the Dean's and Felix's formation can't be ruled out or ignored.
