“These hurricanes are getting bigger and stronger and that is due to simple energy transfer,” said Claudia Benitez-Nelson, a climate scientist at the University of South Carolina.
Benitez-Nelson explained that a hotter planet means more energy can transfer from the ocean to the atmosphere.
“And what are hurricanes? They’re big balls of energy and so that energy is now feeding into these tropical storms,” she said.
That transferring effect is expected to continue and worsen as the planet heats up.“
