Climate Change Making Storms More Common
As the world continues to warm, destructive storms like Fiona are only going to become more common. Hotter ocean temperatures can help hurricanes like Fiona get even stronger than they normally would be, while warmer air can hold more rainfall, making storms and flooding more intense. Unchecked sea level rise also means that storm surge near coastal towns like the ones hit in Nova Scotia is getting more aggressive and damaging with storms like these.
