随着温度的上升
this thermal disequilibrium
海洋与大气间的

热力不平衡也随之加剧
It goes up at a rate that would increase the wind speed
按理说 温差每增加一摄氏度
of hurricanes maybe 7% for every one degree C.
飓风的风速就会上升7%
But we've seen a lot more

if ocean temperatures continue to rise.
未来会是怎样的情况
If we look at the distribution of hurricanes
若要画一张当今气候条件下
in the present climate,
飓风的强度分布图
with weak storms over on this side
这边代表弱风暴
and strong storms over on this side,
那边代表强风暴
what we see is lots of weak events.
弱风暴占大多数
