- Reasons for recommending:
This paper, which we've covered as a research highlight, suggests that global warming may actually dampen Atlantic and East Pacific storms and prevent some forming through an increase in wind shear. It's interesting as the increase in Atlantic hurricanes has previously been attributed to human-induced cliamte change.
