Evolving Hurricanes-Why it's kinda Our Fault

Through data it's easy to see that there is an anthropogenic relationship to the amount and viciousness of storms and hurricanes. The Environmental Diverse Fund has multiple data sources that conclude that an increase in human-produced climate change leads to more storms and hotter temperatures. This creates a cycle of hotter temperatures, higher evaporation rates and more precipitation.

Storms and hurricanes especially can have a long-term effect on the human health. Floods and Standing water can create deadly mold and bacteria which bring back mosquitoes and other harmful insects. This causes another chain reaction of illnesses spread from the start of a storm.

El Niño is the periodic warming of water in the Pacific Ocean every few years. When it occurs, it means more energy is available for storms to form there. It also form the start of a period of storm illnesses. The El Nino aslo has a big impact of the environment is the ocean. It kills all the close shore fish in the guts which hurts the reproduction of them in that season and hurt the fish population for food in recovery.

-Hurricane Harvey of 2017:  Our climate change impact made record the record rainfall over Houston around three times more likely and 15 percent more intense
-European Extreme Heat Wave of 2017: Our climate change impact made intensity and frequency of such extreme heat at least 10 times as likely in Portugal and Spain.
-Louisiana Downpours of 2016: Anthropogenic climate change made events like this 40 percent more likely and increased rainfall intensity by around 10 percent

Hurricanes kill dogs and cats every year ; Hurricanes form when oceans reach 79 degrees Fahrenheit or more. The intensity of North Atlantic hurricanes and the number of Category 4 and 5 hurricanes have increased since the 1980s.These increases are due in part to warmer sea surface in the areas where Atlantic hurricanes form and pass through. An active area of research involves determining how much of this sea surface temperature increase can be attributed to natural causes versus human causes and whether the frequency and duration of  hurricanes will continue to increase in the future.

New evidence indicates that most tree species can endure only limited abnormal water stress, reinforcing the idea that trees in wetter as well as semiarid forests are vulnerable to drought-induced mortality under warming climates.

Large-scale die-off and wildfire disturbance events could have potential impacts occurring at local and regional scales for timber production, flooding and erosion risks, other changes in water budgets, biogeochemical changes including carbon storage, and aesthetics Rising disturbance rates can increase harvested wood output and potentially lower prices; however, higher disturbance rates could make future forest investments more risky . Western forests could also lose substantial amounts of carbon storage capacity. For example, an increase in wildfires, insect outbreaks, and droughts that are severe enough to alter soil moisture and nutrient contents can result in changes in tree density or species composition

Rising temperatures and CO₂ levels can increase growth or alter migration of some tree species;however, the relationship between rising temperature and mortality is complex. For example, most functional groups show a decrease in mortality with higher summer temperatures (with the exception of northern groups), whereas warmer winters are correlated with higher mortality for some functional groups. Tree mortality is often the result of a combination of many factors; thus increases in pollutants, droughts, and wildfires will increase the probability of a tree dying Under projected climate conditions, rising temperatures could work together with forest stand characteristics and these other stressors to increase mortality. Recent die-offs have been more severe than projected. As temperatures increase to levels projected for mid-century and beyond, eastern forests may be at risk of die-off.

It's easy to see the progressive growth within the graph, yielding that over the last 100 years, the percent of land area consumed has doubled. Our relationship with our planet is not healthy. But you can also tell within the last 30 years is where it's increased the most, if we continue to move up the graph like it's shown we'll likely be in a very bad spot. The data would approximate us at 30-35% land coverage by 2050
