Added: 2026-05-21

[00:00:00]Let's start with hurricanes. Warmer ocean temperatures fuel these storms, making them more powerful and destructive. We've seen this with recent hurricanes like Harvey, Irma, and Maria, which caused unprecedented damage across the Caribbean and the southern United States.
