Top Highlights
- One study published in Harvey's aftermath suggests climate change likely boosted the hurricane's rainfall by 20 to 40%
- Another analysis that pooled results from six different climate models estimated that Harvey-level rainfall was a 1-in-2,000-years event at the end of the 20th century, but by the end of the 21st century that likelihood will be 1 in 100 years
- National Science Foundation-funded study estimated that recent named storms would be slower-moving, have faster winds, and be much wetter, on average
- “Global warming is nebulous,” says climate scientist Peter Stott at the Met Office
- What isn’t nebulous, he says, is escaping a hurricane or surviving a drought
