Aside from wind speeds, global sea level rises—which are being driven by climate change—are making coastal hurricanes more destructive due to the increased risk of storm surges, as we saw with Katrina in 2005. Large storm surges which can lead to severe flooding have already increased in frequency twofold and are only expected to become more common as the world warms.
"We must demand that local, state and federal officials confront the climate emergency and curb the single greatest contributor to the climate crisis—fossil fuels—by implementing a plan to rapidly phase out fossil fuel production and speed a just transition to 100 percent clean, renewable energy," they said.
