With this new paper, we firm up the link between the increase in sea surface temperatures and hurricane intensity, which has been a key issue in the debate about whether global warming is causing an increase in hurricane intensity.
This study really shores up the link between rising sea temperature and the intensity of hurricanes.
This firms up the link between sea surface temperatures and hurricane intensity. It is an important piece of the global warming debate.
If humans are increasing sea surface temperatures and if you buy this link between increases rising sea surface temperatures and increases in hurricane intensity, that's the conclusion you come to.
