How did climate change make Hurricane Melissa worse?

Freddie Otto, a climate science professor at Imperial College London, dives into the alarming intensification of Hurricane Melissa. He explains how human-induced climate change has made such extreme storms four times more likely. With insights from climate models, Otto describes the critical factors—ocean heat and atmospheric stability—that fueled Melissa's power. He highlights the unequal impacts on Jamaica, emphasizing the need for better preparedness and efficient aid for the most vulnerable communities after the hurricane's devastation.
