scientists have not established any link between global warming
and the frequency of storms, but a persuasive body of evidence

intensity of hurricanes, adding greatly to their destructive
force.
Indeed, a study just published in the journal Nature reports
that the power--and hence the destructive force--of hurricanes
in the Atlantic Ocean has more than doubled in the past 30
years, with an unusually strong spike since 1995. "The large
upswing is unprecedented and probably reflects the effect of
global warming," said MIT climate scientist Kerry Emmanuel, who
