Atlantic Warming Turns Into Hurricane Supercharger

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, reports on the South Atlantic’s transformation into a “hurricane machine.” He explains how rising ocean temperatures—80°F in the South Atlantic and up to 90°F in the Gulf of Mexico—are providing the perfect fuel for storms to intensify at unprecedented speeds. McIntyre warns that this warming trend is likely to drive more devastating hurricanes in the years ahead.
