Hurricanes have become a symbol of climate change and a call to action. Scientists are still debating how climate affects hurricanes, but they know a lot more about storms. As NASA says: “Earth's atmosphere and oceans have warmed significantly in recent decades. A warming ocean creates the perfect cauldron to cook storms” because “hurricanes are fueled by heat in the upper layers of the ocean”. Oceans warm earlier in the spring, allowing storms to form before the official season begins on June 1, as happened in May 2020, which saw a record hurricane season with Tropical Storms Arthur and Bertha.
