💨 Abstract

A powerful hurricane, one of the strongest on record in the Atlantic, struck Jamaica with winds nearing 200 mph, causing severe damage. Climate experts like Professor Chris Holloway confirm that climate change exacerbates these storms by raising sea levels and increasing water vapor, leading to more intense rainfall and storm surges. Activist Mikaela Loach emphasizes that such storms are not natural disasters but consequences of human-induced climate change, advocating for naming them after fossil fuel CEOs to highlight responsibility.
