Global warming may push more hurricanes toward the U.S. east and Gulf coasts--study

Apr

Study says warming may push more hurricanes toward US coasts A new study says changes in air patterns as the world warms will likely push more and nastier hurricanes up against the United States’ east and Gulf coasts. Friday's study looks more at steering currents of future storms than past research, focusing on where storms will go instead of how big or frequent they will be. The study projects that in the future extra warming in the eastern equatorial Pacific will ripple through the atmosphere to push storms in the Atlantic more eastward toward the Southeast Coast and north in the Gulf of Mexico.

Analysis: Why The US leads the world in weather catastrophes

Apr

The US leads the world in weather catastrophes. Here's why The United States is Earth's punching bag for nasty weather. The nation's weather chief and other experts say the U.S. gets hit by stronger, costlier, more varied and frequent extreme weather than anywhere on Earth. Those include tornadoes, hurricanes, floods, droughts, blizzards and the like. The reason is geography. Two oceans, the Gulf of Mexico, mountains, the jet stream and jutting peninsulas all combine to brew up severe storms. But nasty weather by itself isn't a disaster. What makes nature's bad hand a disaster is humans.
