Climate Change Intensifies Hurricane Melissa

Climate change made Hurricane Melissa six times more likely to intensify rapidly, turning it into a powerful Category Five storm.

Jamaica and Cuba were severely affected, with Cubas infrastructure and agricultural areas suffering significant damage. As COP Thirty begins, this serves as a stark reminder of climate changes consequences. The Daily News Now! — Every city. Every story. AI-powered. Hosted on Acast.
