American climatologists in search of the reasons for the increase in the number of hurricanes in the Atlantic have found that global warming has nothing to do with it.
Although ecologists in any incomprehensible situation like to refer to global warming, this time it turned out to be nothing to do with it.
According to TASS, scientists from Princeton University in the course of the study found the reason for the sharp increase in the number of hurricanes off the coast of the United States in the past three decades. Climatologists suggest that this is not due to global warming, but to long-term climate fluctuations that temporarily made the Atlantic calm in the 1960-1980s. Recently, various weather disasters have become more frequent in the ocean – floods, droughts, heat waves and hurricanes.

Over the past 150 years, the Atlantic region has experienced several rather long episodes of sharp intensification and weakening of storms, the duration of which was about 30-35 years. In the period from 1900 to 1930 and from 1960 to 1980, hurricanes occurred quite rarely, and at the end of the 19th century and in the middle of the last century – almost as often as at the present time. This suggests that the increase in hurricane activity in the Atlantic is now associated most likely with long-term climatic fluctuations.
