The trail of destruction left by Hurricane Florence is no alien phenomenon in the U.S. recently but every next assault just gets bigger, more fearsome and more catastrophic. A new study doesn’t shy away from attributing these events and patterns to anthropogenic climate change and specifically global warming.

A group of scientists, who study climate change, hurricanes or both, recently concluded that rising temperatures are making hurricanes wetter and more vigorous and impactful, notes New York Post.

With a new field of attribution studies, scientists have begun to shun the reluctance in relating extreme weather events to human-driven climate change, and there are a lot of factors to back their assertions, reports Chicago Tribune.
