The author of the theory that global warming will cause stronger hurricanes has recanted his view!!!
Hurricane expert, meteorology professor at MIT and one of Times 100 Influential People of 2006, Kerry Emanuel has publicly reversed his stance on the impact of Global Warming on Hurricanes. Emanuel has released new research indicating that even in a rapidly warming world, hurricane frequency and intensity will not be substantially affected.
In a March 2008 paper published in the 'Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society', he announced he is rethinking his previous assumption of global warming as an increasing threat for more hurricane activity than normal. Other research papers have also suggested that warming seas may not be the main cause of increased hurricane activity.
