In an extensive study published this summer in the journal Nature, Emanuel surveyed roughly 4,500 storms brewed in the North Atlantic and western north Pacific since the middle of the 20th century. He found that the average power of the storms increased 50% in those 50 years. It's a change that, he has little doubt, is linked to global warming.

...others simply allowing their sections to fall into disrepair. This year’s misery was compounded by the decision to institute mandatory weekly lectures in a course that previously only required all its students to convene twice per semester. The lectures were either disorganized or repetitive, appearing to occur solely for the purpose of existence and not for pedagogical reasons...
