If we can come to know the fundamental rules governing any physical system, […] we can input the parameters that we have at any moment and evolve that system forward in time, allowing us to predict its future behavior.
For chaotic systems like hurricanes, there's inevitably going to be a certain amount of variation and variability from event-to-event, year-to-year, and decade-to-decade in terms of what happens on Earth.
If there are long-term, sustained changes to our planet's conditions, that's going to affect the overall behavior of phenomena such as hurricanes here on Earth.
As Hurricane Francine bears down on Louisiana, it's time to examine just how hurricanes work, and why we can no longer ignore the effects of global warming.
