Scientists say that so far, hurricane history provides no evidence of any connection between global warming and hurricanes. Just two years later though was a very quiet year. Now we're back at an active year. It's hard to pinpoint a relationship between that and global warming, at least at this point. It is predicted that future hurricanes could be up to 20 percent stronger than today's Looking into the next century, one study projected future hurricanes up to 20 percent stronger than today's.
Most climate scientists say that Earth does seem to be heating up.
They think carbon dioxide and other so-called greenhouse gases form an atmospheric blanket that is warming the Earth. Researchers caution that one has to consider questions of climate change over decades, even centuries. One weather event, like a strong hurricane or a rough hurricane season, cannot alone be blamed on global warming. CNN Correspondent Natalie Pawelski contributed to this report.
