Tornadoes will be more and more intense in the next century

Currently, each year the world suffers from about 90 tropical cyclones but due to the effects of climate change. In the next century, this number will not stop there.

Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Kerry Emanuel) famous climate scientist on July 8 said that because of increasing greenhouse gas emissions, the number of tropical cyclones will increase by 10-40% for by 2100. Not only in quantity, their severity also increased by 45%, causing 55% more damage now.

Tornadoes form in deep waters with warm water while the upper air environment is cold and humid. The heat from the surface of the sea rises high, creating a whirlpool of air and gradually increasing to become a tornado.

Tropical cyclones bring rain and wind, and there are many levels from tropical depression to tropical storms and the strongest is hurricane. The study of recorded data by the National Academy of Sciences shows that stronger storms with more rain and higher winds will appear in the South Indian Ocean, North Pacific and North Dai seas. The Atlantic Ocean, causing serious damage to coastal areas.

Through data analysis from satellites, in the past 40 years, tornadoes are relatively stable in number and intensity. However, along with the forecast of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) that CO2 emissions will triple by 2100, scientists predict climate change in the direction More extreme direction with six different weather types.

According to the US ocean surveillance system, the Atlantic, Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico regions are currently experiencing an average of 6 hurricanes and 11 tropical storms, while those in the Pacific are five times each. turns 10 and 19.
