Scientists Warn Warming Oceans Are Responsible for More Intense Hurricanes
Scientists Warn Warming Oceans , Are Responsible for More Intense Hurricanes.
'Time' reports that a recent study suggests that
warming oceans will fuel more powerful and
catastrophic Atlantic hurricane seasons in the future.
The study examined data from
830 tropical cyclones in
the Atlantic since 1971.
.
According to the findings, over the last 20 years,
8.1% of Category 1 minor storms transformed
into major hurricanes within 24 hours.
Between 1971 and 1990, that
only occurred 3.2% of the time.
Study author Andra Garner, a climate scientist
at Rowan University in New Jersey, says that the
rate at which storms are intensifying is alarming.
We know that our strongest,
most damaging storms very
often do intensify very quickly
at some point in their lifetimes.

at Rowan University in New Jersey, via 'Time'.
We’re talking about
something that’s hard to
predict that certainly can lead
to a more destructive storm, Andra Garner, study author and climate scientist
at Rowan University in New Jersey, via 'Time'.
According to Garner, these destructive storms have , "become more common in the last 50 years.".
This has all happened over a time period
when we’ve seen ocean waters get warmer, Andra Garner, study author and climate scientist
at Rowan University in New Jersey, via 'Time'.
If we don't work to lower our
(carbon) emissions, then that's
a trend that we likely could
expect to see continue
to happen in the future, Andra Garner, study author and climate scientist

It has been a little over four years since
we faced the global pandemic that
reshaped our lives in many ways,
including our ways of working. , Chief People Officer Donna Morris, via memo.

offices in Dallas, Atlanta, and our
Toronto Global Tech office, to relocate. , Chief People Officer Donna Morris, via memo.

‘New York Times’ Poll , Indicates Trouble for Biden.
Donald Trump was found to be "leading in
five out of six swing states," 'The Hill' reports. .
Wisconsin is the only swing
state where Biden is leading.
In 2020, Biden won all six swing states.
The May 13 poll also indicated that support for Biden is dwindling among young voters,
as well as Black and Hispanic voters.
What’s so impressive about this is
polls have historically underestimated
Trump’s support, not overestimated
Trump’s support, Ford O’Connell, a Republican strategist, via 'The Hill'.
And then if you couple this poll
with nearly 100,000 people
showing up in Arctic blue New
Jersey, this is a disaster for Biden, Ford O’Connell, a Republican strategist, via 'The Hill'.

Biden supporters, however, say that polling conducted this far away from election day should be taken with a grain of salt.
The only consistency in recent
public polls is inconsistency. , Geoff Garin, Biden campaign pollster, via 'The Hill'.
These results need to be weighed against
the 30-plus polls that show Biden up and
gaining — which is exactly why drawing
broad conclusions about the race based
on results from one poll is a mistake. , Geoff Garin, Biden campaign pollster, via 'The Hill'.
The reality is that many voters are not paying
close attention to the election and have not
started making up their minds — a dynamic
also reflected in today’s poll. , Geoff Garin, Biden campaign pollster, via 'The Hill'.
These voters will decide this election,
and only the Biden campaign is doing
the work to win them over, Geoff Garin, Biden campaign pollster, via 'The Hill'

Early in the morning on Wednesday, April 10, the night sky over New Jersey was unexpectedly illuminated by a massive fireball streaking across it. This remarkable event marks the third extraordinary natural phenomenon observed in the United States this week, following a rare earthquake and a total solar eclipse. Reports suggest that the sudden blaze of light may have been caused by a meteor hurtling towards the earth, possibly landing somewhere within New Jersey's Garden State or its surrounding areas.
