Superstorms and Global Warming: Is Extreme Weather the New Normal? | SLICE EARTH | FULL DOCUMENTARY

Video Description

Every year, the tropics face the planet's most powerful storms—known as typhoons in the Pacific, cyclones in Australia, and hurricanes in the Atlantic. Despite their different names, these weather systems are born from nearly identical conditions and are among the most dangerous natural events on Earth. Hurricanes alone claim thousands of lives and cause billions in damage annually. But even with all our technological advancements, their sudden intensifications remain a mystery. These storms can rapidly escalate to deadly strength in just a few hours, leaving scientists puzzled about the precise causes. The summer of 2017 was a turning point, as the Caribbean experienced a relentless barrage of hurricanes, with more catastrophic landfalls than ever before. Islands were devastated, entire nations faced humanitarian crises, and the unprecedented rainfall left a lasting impact. As global warming and rising sea levels continue to influence our climate, scientists warn that these super-storms could become the new normal.
