When Is Climate Change Just Weather?


The catastrophe of the Amazon-fire shook the world to its very core because the causes and effects of it rapidly spread amongst everyone around the globe; but, are you aware of the devastation that the Hurricane Dorian thumped in the Bahamas? If not, then let us provide you some insight into the same. Dorian has been classified under the Category 5 monster of historic intensity; all the leading Maritimes have cast surveillance upon the same which still happens to be a raging storm. The storm has already started causing noticeable unrest in the Atlantic Ocean, but our primary concern lies in the question that how long will it take us to pull off the veil that guards human-caused climate change simply as weather and take positive steps towards curbing the uncontrolled madness?


Shunning away these questions into scientific realms will only reveal our plagued misjudgment; there has to be a political perspective influencing these peaceful alterations. The increasing threat imposed by the accumulation of greenhouse gases and its repercussions is the warning bells that call for potential changes in the policy actions of climate change. But, the sad part here is the news that reaches the general audience is often sensationalized and cast with an over-the-top appearance with the objective to distract its audience from the seriousness lying at the core of this issue.

The human-caused climate changes have attained a humungous volume from where nothing but aggressive action that is meant to decarbonize the global economy and escalate adaptations to the climate is need of the hour. However, all of these changes must be brought about under strict supervision of scientific strategies and advancements to bring about swifter applications. In the section below, we will state a few guidelines relevant to our topic of discussion.

Without any discrepancies, let us all accept that we humans are the source of this topsy-turvy climatic changes. Thereby, it must be understood that hurricanes have strings tied to every component of this climatic change. Moreover, apart from hurricanes, there can be several other graver impacts starting from poleward migration, regional occurrence, global and ocean basin frequency, storm track locations, inland precipitation, coastal storm and many more. According to Kevin Trenberth from the National Center for Atmospheric Research, the potential environment for storms like Dorian has changed because of the climatic change. The basic retaliation is the same in case of all storms but, they all respond distinctly. One aspect that is clear from these preceding statements is that there have been no significant upward trends in the case of hurricane landfalls in the last few years.

The biggest confusion that is most likely to arise is when climate change is assumed equal to the depreciation of everything else surrounding it. Nonetheless, the truth here is that the climate change only catalyzed the Dorian storm and will have the same consequence upon all the forthcoming storms; but, there is not confirmation that the situation furnished will certainly be worse than the previous one. In some cases, it has been proved over time that human-caused climate change is not every time to be blamed for worsening the storms. For instance, the Idai cyclone in Southern Africa caused extensive damage in Zimbabwe, Mozambique, and Malawai and was straightaway linked with climate change; but, in reality, this was not the case.

The link doesn't seem valid because the region that it has thrashed upon did not come across any increase in tropical cyclone landfall frequency or intensity, therefore, reinforcing that storms like these aren't uncommon in this region. This statement is also ironic because one study has found that the number of tropical cyclones causing landfalls over Southern Africa because of Global Warming will soon decrease in spite of Greenhouse gas emission. Fortunately, the Global scientific community, over the past 20 years have formed a strapping consensus on hurricanes and climate change that can be utilized shortly for initiating climate action and scientific integrity.
