“Climate Central, based in Princeton, N.J., contributed to the WWA’s sea surface temperature analysis for Helene. And, in a separate alert released October 7, Climate Central reported that elevated sea surface temperatures in the southwestern Gulf of Mexico were also behind the “explosive” increase in intensity of Hurricane Milton. The analysis found that the sea surface temperatures in the Gulf were made 400 to 800 times more likely over the past two weeks due to human-caused climate change.”

Speaking about his breakdown with CNN in a later interview, Mr Morales said it was a “mixture for empathy for those people (residents in the storm path), the angst of increasingly frequent and severe extreme weather events, and just frustration over being a climate communicator for over 20 years and realising this is happening and we knew it was coming”.

apparently if you get close to something then it looks much bigger than something which is further away, and then if you use an ultra wide-angle lens that produces strong visual distortion intended to create a wide panoramic or hemispherical image it creates an image with exaggerated curvature

It’s SCIENCE mathematics ¡
