The storms are getting worse

Scientists are trying to warn the rise of global warming is slowing down the movement speed of storms, increasing its destructive power.

Here scientists are referring to the speed of the storm's movement instead of the wind speed. Slower movement will cause the storm to cause more damage each time it passes.

The warning came after scientists compared meteorological data from 1950 to the past few years and combined computer-based weather forecasts.

In nature, however strong the wind may be, the storm can still move at a slow pace. For example, in 2019, super typhoon Dorian has winds of up to 295 km / h but only moves a few kilometers per hour.

With slow movement speed, storms will have more devastating time, and make a small area subject to heavy rainfall in the long run. In the future, storms, though small, will still have the same destructive power as Dorian superstorm or even more.

'Our simulations show that global warming can lead to slower storm movements, especially in some densely populated areas. This is the first study we have combined between physical explanation and technological power to produce results, '' says climatologist Gan Zhang from Princeton University.

Using the climate model, Zhang and his colleagues based on six weather models from the initial 15 conditions and produced 90 predictive scenarios. In the nearly 100 that scenario, scientists predict the end of the 21st century, the amount of CO ₂ in the Earth rising global temperatures cause increased 4 degrees C.

According to the suggested models, hurricanes in Asia and North America along the latitude near New York will be most affected. However, storm speeds in the tropics are not affected by rising temperatures.

The scientists said the study did not find a clear link between climate change caused by human activity and the slower movement of storms. At present, the research team does not have sufficient basis to exclude natural changes or some local causes.

But this is seen as a clear indicator that we are drawing into the body when not controlling climate change. Gradually, extreme weather events are increasing and their prolonged will cause people to suffer many losses.

"With these results, we want to prove that the slowdown of the storm movement is directly proportional to global warming. Our findings are also backed by physical and model proofs. Computers should be completely reliable , " Zhang said.

• Tropical storms are moving more and more slowly, and that's bad news for all of us
• Storms move more and more slowly around the globe
