According to the @NOAA, over the span of 10 years starting from 1990, convective #storms have caused about $40 #billion in damage to the #United States. However, in the last decade, the total losses increased sixfold, surpassing $240 billion, and in 2023 alone, the storm-related losses set a #new record, amounting to $54B.
In 2023, for the first time in #history, a Category 5 tropical #cyclone, the highest category in terms of strength, formed in all oceanic basins. Almost every hurricane in this category set records for strength, duration, and rapid intensification compared to hurricanes in the previous years.
Such a disastrous increase in hurricane wind speed is attributed to the anomalous warming of the ocean and the anthropogenic #factor.
#Climate change is a #global #problem and requires a concerted #international effort to address it. It is critical to bring #scientists together in a Unified Science Center in order to develop effective strategies to combat climate change and protect the future of our planet.
❓How many more losses from climate change do you think we need to endure before realizing the #urgent need to take action?
