does global warming have on hurricane frequency and intensity? Since the especially intense hurricane season in 2005 that spawned the devastating storms of “Katrina” and “Rita” this question has spawned a lot of media attention as well. However before we can even begin to answer the question posed by the title of the paper we must first explore; What is a hurricane? How it is formed? And we must also examine what is meant by the term global warming? Firstly hurricanes, otherwise known as
the eleventh named storm that hit The Big Easy on August 23, 2015. This named storm is better known as Hurricane Katrina.

Should climate change be a concern because of Hurricane Sandy? Haddon, Heather. "Thanks to Sandy, Surging Interest In Climate Study." Wall Street Journal, 28 Oct. 2015, eastern ed. ProQuest.

to even begin to answer the question posed by the title of the paper we must first explore what a hurricane is and how it is formed. We must also examine what is meant by the term global warming. Firstly hurricanes are formed over warm ocean waters of at least 26.5ºC through depths of at least 45m where there is a high Coriolis Effect such as there is just north and south of the equator. (Moran, 2011) Hurricanes begin as smaller storms called tropical disturbances, if there is sufficient loss in
Scientists across the globe are being funded to research the effects of climate change. Why, some may ask. Not only does climate change affect the world around you, it affects you directly. Whether it be through air, land, or sea, the human population is not overlooked by nature. Every single person on this planet is faced with climate change symptoms on a regular basis. The focus of this paper however will be solely on how the climate change is changing weather patterns and natural climates to create
