The latest episode of Cosmic Journeys examines the rise of super hurricanes and their impacts.

Synopsis

In the latest episode of Cosmic Journeys, coming soon, the video examines the conditions that can transform an average tropical storm into a super hurricane. While scientists strive to identify the diagnostics of these powerful storms, they confront an escalating conflict between humanity and nature. More people are now living near coastlines, increasing their vulnerability to ocean storms. Concurrently, rising sea levels and warmer ocean temperatures heighten the risks associated with these destructive monsters, prompting urgent discussions about preparedness and resilience.
