“New research indicates that the number of tropical cyclones has been rising since 1980 in the North Atlantic and Central Pacific” due to the increase in “greenhouse gases” and “particulate pollution and other aerosols” (Allen 2020). According to the research, climate change influences the locations “where these deadly storms occur” (Allen 2020).
