Hurricane Milton Highlights Media and Politics Divide on Climate Change
- Scientists at World Weather Attribution report that Hurricane Milton's rainfall was 20% to 30% heavier due to human-caused climate change, which also increased wind strength by about 10%.
- The analysis indicates that without climate change, Milton would have made landfall as a Category 2 storm instead of a Category 3, as it did on Wednesday night.
- Research shows that even if total storm numbers are stable, the percentage of storms reaching Category 4 is rising, aligning with climate modeling studies.
