• Hurricane impact: Recent hurricanes are causing more severe flooding due to climate change.
• Warming waters: Warmer ocean temperatures fuel more powerful storms with heavier rainfall.
• Sea level rise: Rising sea levels exacerbate flooding even during less intense storms.
• Expert opinion: Dr. Helene Milton, a climate scientist, emphasizes the connection between climate change and increased flooding.
• Human activities: Burning fossil fuels is the primary driver of climate change and its associated weather extremes and without action to reduce emissions, flooding from hurricanes is expected to worsen significantly.
