Straight Line of the Day: Creating Cleaner Air? How Dare You!?
Study Finds Cleaner Air Leads to More Atlantic Hurricanes
usnews.com | 5/11/2022 | Seth BorensteinCleaner air in United States and Europe is brewing more Atlantic hurricanes, a new U.S. government study found.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration study links changes in regionalized air pollution across the globe to storm activity going both up and down. A 50% decrease in pollution particles and droplets in Europe and the U.S. is linked to a 33% increase in Atlantic storm formation in the past couple decades, while the opposite is happening in the Pacific with more pollution and fewer typhoons, according to the study published in Wednesday’s Science Advances.
