Perhaps the only positive effect of hurricanes is that they are heat dumps. They develop when the energy of condensation piles up on top of already warm tropical waters. Were this mechanical process not to exist, global warming and climate change would unarguably become an issue that no one could ever debate.
The fact that warmer seas make for harsher storms may not come as a surprise. Hurricanes are formed when water evaporating from the oceans feeds a swirling mass of clouds: the warmer the water, the more energy available for the storm. But some climate experts had suggested that other factors, such as 'wind shear', might also have contributed to the trend.
