Fact 2: Records for hurricanes were set in 2004 and 2005 due to global warming.
Source 1: http://www.marklynas.org/2006/6/22/record-hurricane-season-was-fueled-by-global-warming The source by Mark Lynas quotes men and women from the Nation Center of Atmospheric Research on how global warming affects hurricanes. I belive the article is credible. The article says that more hurricanes occurred due to the heated water (due to global warming). It also says that global warming increases the risk of many more hurricanes in the future. I agree with this source because global warming increases Earth's overall heat, which would lead to more and more hurricane which thrive off of heated waters.
Source 2: (research what heated water has to do with hurricanes happening) http://www.weatherwizkids.com/hurricane1.htm The source was created by Meteorologist Crystal Wicker so I believe this source is credible. I read earlier that hurricanes need warm water to occur and this article told me why. It told me that warm water gives the hurricane energy and power to occur. I agree with this source because I learned in science that warmth gives off energy.
Source 3: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2005_Atlantic_hurricane_season The source is by Wikipedia which is usually a reliable source so I think it is credible. The source said that the 2005 Atlantic hurricane season was the most active since recorded history. This broke many records. I agree with this because for records to be broke, the temperatures in 2005 had to have been record hot as well, leaving only global warming as the result.
