climate crisis, 'The Independent' reports.
There are a lot of attribution
studies and other lines of evidence
showing that autumn/winter storms
like this are more damaging
because of climate change, Dr. Friederike Otto, senior lecturer in climate science
at Imperial College London, via 'The Independent'.
That’s because the rainfall
associated with these types
of storms is more severe due
to climate change, and the storm
surges are higher and thus more
damaging due to the higher sea levels, Dr. Friederike Otto, senior lecturer in climate science
at Imperial College London, via 'The Independent'.

The Met Office said that storm-related rainfall
has intensified in recent years, and the
trend is likely to continue into the future. .
It is also very likely that the intensity
of these winter storms will increase,
and that rainfall from these events
will result in larger impacts such as
flooding and larger storm surges
alongside the coastal regions, Dr. Melissa Lazenby, lecturer in climate change
at the University of Sussex, via 'The Independent'
