Scientists Warn Warming Oceans , Are Responsible for More Intense Hurricanes.
'Time' reports that a recent study suggests that
warming oceans will fuel more powerful and
catastrophic Atlantic hurricane seasons in the future.
The study examined data from
830 tropical cyclones in
the Atlantic since 1971. .
According to the findings, over the last 20 years,
8.1% of Category 1 minor storms transformed
into major hurricanes within 24 hours.
Between 1971 and 1990, that
only occurred 3.2% of the time.
Study author Andra Garner, a climate scientist
at Rowan University in New Jersey, says that the
rate at which storms are intensifying is alarming.
We know that our strongest,
most damaging storms very
often do intensify very quickly
at some point in their lifetimes. , Andra Garner, study author and climate scientist
at Rowan University in New Jersey, via 'Time'.
We’re talking about
something that’s hard to
predict that certainly can lead
to a more destructive storm, Andra Garner, study author and climate scientist
at Rowan University in New Jersey, via 'Time'.
According to Garner, these destructive storms have , "become more common in the last 50 years.".
This has all happened over a time period
when we’ve seen ocean waters get warmer, Andra Garner, study author and climate scientist
at Rowan University in New Jersey, via 'Time'.
If we don't work to lower our
(carbon) emissions, then that's
a trend that we likely could
expect to see continue
to happen in the future, Andra Garner, study author and climate scientist
at Rowan University in New Jersey, via 'Time'

ABC reports that trichloroethylene (TCE) can be found

ABC reports that trichloroethylene (TCE) can be found
in everything from automobile brake cleaners and furniture
care products to spray coatings for arts and crafts.
The ban would end nearly forty years of fighting to
ban TCE, which can cause neurological harm even
at lower exposure levels over a long period of time.
At higher levels of exposure, TCE can
cause sudden death or kidney cancer.
According to the EPA, as much as
250 million pounds of TCE are
produced by the U.S. every year.
In Massachusetts, TCE was linked to contaminated water
in the city of Woburn, where two locations were
ultimately deemed to be massive Superfund sites.
For far too long,
TCE has left a toxic legacy
in communities across America, Michal Freedhoff, EPA assistant administrator for the Office of Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention, via ABC.
Today, EPA is taking a major step to
protect people from exposure to
this cancer-causing chemical, Michal Freedhoff, EPA assistant administrator for the Office of Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention, via ABC.
ABC reports that environmental groups
have praised the proposed TCE ban,
which would go into effect in 2024.
EPA followed the science,
listened to impacted communities,
and proposed one of the strongest
chemical regulations in recent
history. Some chemicals
are simply too harmful
to remain on the market, Jonathan Kalmuss-Katz, Earthjustice Senior Attorney, via ABC
