Climate Change May Reduce Hurricanes Hitting US
Shit, they've uncovered our evil plan.
The new study suggests that warmer seas, caused by greenhouse gases blamed for a rise in global temperatures, are linked to an increase in vertical wind shear, a difference in wind speeds at different altitudes that can tear apart nascent cyclones.
Ok, not really. They're just suggesting that records of US landfall storms are more representative because prior to the 60s we couldn't accurately identify or track storms that started and died at sea. So they used US storm data in their research.
Still, it would have been awesome if we had really planned to use SUVs to send the damn things to Mexico instead of Galveston.
