Will global warming lead to stronger, more frequent hurricanes? That’s a question that’s been dividing scientists, with recently published papers reaching different conclusions. Many scientists have concluded that warming oceans are producing more severe storms, and that the relatively mild hurricane season of 2006 is the result, at least in part, of slightly cooler sea surface temperatures this year. Other scientists have argued that there is no indication storms have become more intense in recent years, and that any changes are just the result of natural fluctuations. The Washington Post looked at the science on both sides in a story last weekend.
