Lack of Hurricanes Proof of Global Warming - The Oregon Catalyst
How can global warming, proved now beyond a doubt, cause fewer hurricanes? It is actually quite simple. Global warming causes El Nino to intensify, which increases the vertical wind shear across the tropical Atlantic. The increased wind shear greatly reduces Atlantic basin hurricane activity.
So, global warming has actually REDUCED the chances of hurricanes forming and/or making landfall in the United States.
