"Hurricane Helene tears through the southeastern United States as
scientists say climate change rapidly intensifies hurricanes. The storm
devastated large swaths of the southeastern United States after making
landfall in Florida as a Category 4 storm. Officials say the death toll is
likely to rise, as many are still missing. Helene is expected to be one of
the costliest hurricanes in U.S. history and was fueled by abnormally warm
water in the Gulf of Mexico, but most of the media coverage has failed to
connect the devastation to the climate crisis. "The planet's overheating.
It's irreversible. It's caused by the fossil fuel industry," says climate
activist and climate scientist Peter Kalmus in Raleigh, North Carolina.
"This will get worse as the planet continues to get hotter."
