I won't take any strong stances as this as it is not my field of research but I was under the impression that the affects of climate change on extreme weather phenomena has already been observed. It's not just hurricanes. There's also articles about drought and wildfires.
- Turing_Machine 11y agoYour original claim was that the number of hurricanes has increased. This paper is talking about economic losses (i.e., something a lot fuzzier and less quantifiable than the raw number of hurricanes). Do you have any actual evidence that the number of hurricanes has increased? If not, you should probably retract your original claim, rather than trying to change the subject to drought and wildfires.
