Hurricanes and Climate Change - Warmist Justin Gillis - NYTimes.com

I have a short piece going into Sunday’s paper on the question of whether hurricanes are getting stronger because of climate change. In it, I outline the views of Kerry Emanuel of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, who takes the position that they are, and Thomas R. Knutson of the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory, who believes it would be premature to conclude they are getting stronger over a long stretch of time.

The two scientists’ positions are considerably more complex and nuanced than I was able to convey in a short article.

Mr Wishart said that it was obvious just from looking out of the boat that "a lot of the ice has disappeared" from areas that a few years ago would have been frozen over: "There is more open water. We have demonstrated that there is currently a diminution of the ice sheet," he said.

During the expedition the team, comprising of Mr Wishart, Mark Delstanche, Billy Gammon, Rob Sleep, David Mans and Mark Beaumont, took several scientific measurements to help researchers assess just how quickly the Arctic is breaking up.
