Climate change is not going to be ignored. Four in 10 Americans lived in a county that was struck by a weather disaster. How does climate change affect weather? Yahoo News explains.

Climate change could double the number of hurricanes and typhoons rated as Category 3 storms and higher by the year 2050, according to a new study.

The increase in the number of major hurricanes and typhoons will affect a larger number of people as global air and water temperatures continue to rise due to excess greenhouse gas emissions, according to a study published in the journal Science Advances.

The Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale assigns a number to storms. Category 3 storms have sustained winds of over 100 miles per hour. There are two types of storms: Category 4 storms have winds of at least 130 mph and Category 5 storms have sustained winds of at least 157 mph.

Climate change will increase the wind speeds of major hurricanes by as much as 20% over the next 28 years, as well as the overall frequency of Category 4 and 5 storms by more than 200% in some parts of the world, according to a new study.

The study's lead author, a climate scientist at the University of Amsterdam, said that regions with a low risk of tropical storms could start to be impacted by climate change.

The areas that already see tropical cyclone activity are not evenly distributed in the predicted increase in major hurricanes and typhoons. Miami is projected to see a modest annual increase in the probability of a major Hurricane in a given year, but Honolulu is projected to see a much larger increase over the same period.

Hurricane Katrina caused severe destruction along the Gulf coast from central Florida to Texas, much of it due to the storm surge and levee failure. The storm is the third most intense United States landfalling tropical cyclone, at least 1,245 people died in the hurricane and subsequent floods, making it the deadliest United States hurricane since the 1928 Okeechobee hurricane. Total property damage was estimated at $108 billion. (Photo by: Universal History Archive/Universal Images Group via Getty Images)

Researchers at Colorado State University predicted another above-average Atlantic Hurricane season. The report predicts at least 19 named storms, four of which will become major hurricanes of Category 3 or higher.

We estimate that there will be nine hurricanes, 19 named storms, 90 named storm days, 35 hurricane days, and four major hurricanes.

There are many studies linking warmer ocean water with higher intensity tropical storms. It is not clear if climate change is increasing the number of hurricanes and typhoons that are lower in intensity than the ones that achieve major status.

The increase in Category 4 and 5 hurricanes is likely, with the wind speeds increasing by up to 10%, based on complex modeling. Warmer sea temperatures are causing hurricanes to become wetter, with 10%- 15% more precipitation projected in a 2 degree C scenario.
