23 $1 billion climate events in the US this year, I believe. The world is just at the beginning of an entire new age. The term Anthropocene will be outdated in five years.
As it happens, one model DID correctly forecast the increase hurricane intensity: the model developed by Kerry Emanuel who is widely regarded as one of the leading experts on hurricanes (if not THE leading expert).
Disturbingly, Kerry's modeling work suggests that human-caused warming will increase BOTH the number and intensity of tropical storms & hurricanes.
I should have checked! I learned about hurricane physics working under Dr. Emanuel on modeling the effect of global warming on hurricane intensity in the summer of 2005, watching the physics of fossil-fueled hurricane intensification in real time with the deadly storms that year.
