Description
Category Five Superstorms and the Warming Oceans That Feed Them by Porter Fox is an urgent exploration of the natural world's response to global warming. The story begins with the ocean, which creates weather, climate, floods, droughts, and geophysical fallout. Award-winning writer Porter Fox contends that understanding this process depends on invisible ocean currents, planetary cycles, and deep-ocean processes that may have already saved us from the worst effects of the climate crisis. To gain insight into these phenomena, scientists followed a college drop-out-turned-maverick sailor and storm-chaser, a Romanian refugee turned BBC radio host, and an audacious new attempt to study storms above and below the ocean depths using drones. Fox shadows these explorers, scientists, oceanographers, and weather forecasters as they attempt to understand, forestall, and possibly harness the power of our oceans.
