Storms growing stronger due to global warming, study confirms
Hurricanes, typhoons and cyclones are growing stronger in every region of the world because of climate change, new research suggests.

"The study agrees with what we would expect to see in a warming climate like ours," James Kossin, of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in the United States, who led the research, said.
