How fossil fuels mutated Milton: Climate scientists tell HEATED the historic storm represents "the profound irresponsibility and culpability" of polluters. Arielle Samuelson, HEATED, Oct 9, 2024

"Gulf water pouring gasoline on Milton's explosive intensification is up to 3.6°F above historic normal
Fossil fuels has given us an unprecedented era of monster storms & the only question is why our government policies still encourage burning them" — Miles Grant, Bluesky, Oct 7, 2024

"Helene was supercharged by ultra-warm water made up to 500 times more likely by global warming, study finds," Rachel Ramirez, CNN, October 9, 2024

"In the U.S., at least half the rain from Hurricane Helene was supercharged by climate change. As the waters recede, we’re only beginning to grasp the full extent of the damage—just as Milton, another record-breaking hurricane, threatens Florida. Over the last four weeks, there have been floods all across Asia including in Thailand last week, Nepal the week before, and India, China, and Vietnam before that." — Katharine Hayhoe, LinkedIn, October 9, 2024
