You can't blame climate change for creating Hurricane Matthew. But two Florida scientists say you can blame a warmer world for making the storm get so strong so fast.
Hurricanes and tropical storms gain their power from absorbing the heat of warm water. That's why hurricane season runs from June to November, when the Atlantic Ocean, the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico are at their warmest.
This year, global temperature readings are setting new records every month, so that 2016 is on track to be the warmest year ever.
"Ocean temperatures are playing a big role in that," said David Zierden, Florida's state climatologist.
This summer, the waters around the Bahamas and off Florida's southeastern coast has been running at least 1 degree Celsius warmer than normal, he said.

More BS from the nation’s highly-paid coterie of climate ‘scientists’.
OK!! Everybody pay attention!
Lesson for today:
1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.
2. The sun is a giant nuclear furnace that controls the climates of all its planets.
3. The earth is one of the suns planets.
4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.
5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.
Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?
I also survived Donna. I read where emw’s(electromagnetic waves were used by the govt to move the position of this cane. Overhype. We have worse afternoon summer storms.
Isn’t that the truth. The whole this is anti-God , no factual criteria supportable by anything. It is a religion of faith imposed by the government in violation of the establishment clause. I fight it as often as I can and face to face and I win every time because it is all based on BS.
I’d love to see the math showing how without GW the hurricane would have been weaker. Unfortunately, cult religious doctrine doesn’t lend well to math.

Absolutely true! If it had been the same as say a week before, there wouldn't have even been a hurricane!
