Paris (AFP) – Climate change increased the rainfall from Hurricane Ian by more than 10 percent, according to a new quick-fire analysis, as one of the most powerful storms ever to hit the United States devastated parts of Florida.
According to a rapid and preliminary analysis, human-caused climate change increased the extreme rain that Ian unleashed by over 10 percent, US scientists said.
"Climate change didn't cause the storm but it did cause it to be wetter," said Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory's Michael Wehner, one of the scientists behind the new finding.
The researchers compared simulations of today's world -- which has warmed nearly 1.2 degrees Celsius since pre-industrial times -- with counterfactual simulations of a world without human-induced climate change.
Wehner said these were "conservative estimates", adding that while they are not peer reviewed, they are based on methods used in a study on the 2020 Atlantic hurricane season, which was published in April in the journal Nature Communication.
Climate change from emissions of planet-heating greenhouse gases is warming the ocean's surface and increasing moisture in the atmosphere that fuels hurricanes.
Although the total number of tropical storms, or cyclones, may not increase, scientists say warming is whipping up more powerful cyclones with stronger winds and more precipitation.

10% more rain should really help California.
Yeah....sure. Looks more like 30% more qwap from the “climate change crowd” is more likely.
BS
Prove it.

Man Made Global Warming is a HOAX! Oh, and FJB!
If these researchers concluded there was no impact from man-made climate change, their story would get no attention and they would be considered redundant.
It sure is fortunate that they found an impact from man-made climate change!
We do live in a galactic insane asylum. It is something to observe....how so many people buy into propaganda without questioning it.
last night I watched a montage of news reporting on the hurricane where each reporter blamed climate change. :-0
10% more rain than what, exactly? Than the last hurricane? Than the average? Than another one of the same name? What a crock.
Based upon my climate model, dirt is now 10% dirtier than in years past and water is wetter!
I thought ‘climate change’ caused droughts?
Tucker’s monologue last night showed that these people are all politics all the time. They are a disgusting.
Not only did it dump 10% more rain, the wind speeds were 4% higher, it moved 7% slower, it lingered 3% longer, it’s swath was 2% bigger, it’s temperature is 2% higher, it’s cloud color 6% more green/black, and it laid back with a smoke after finishing and asked “was it good for you, too?” which no hurricane has ever done before.
All caused by you-know-what.
New! Improved! 10% more bullcrap!
Well, lookee here. That lab is owned by the DOE.
IOW, Deep State.
Quelle suprise.
The last line of their research report: “We need $10 million for further research into this very important phenomenon.”
Looked more like 11% to me. 48 hours and they’ve tabulated the rainfall amount but it takes a month to tabulate votes. Weird.
