Other factors are more important for Gulf hurricanes, wind shear, mid-level moisture and having pre-existing disturbances that develop once they reach the Gulf( or track into the Gulf from elsewhere).

Tropical cyclones are fairly random animals, and they respond to the random nature of the atmosphere at any given time, but certainly, this steady warming of the ocean that's been happening in the Atlantic because of the combination of greenhouse gas increases and the particulate pollution decreases, that has a profound effect — and the changes to the particulate pollution have a much more dramatic effect on the hurricanes.

Ten thousand years ago, you can look at the record and we have warmer temperatures on the Earth than we do today. Because it goes up and down, we've had freezing periods in the 1970s. They said it was going to be a new cooling period. And now it gets warmer and gets colder, and that's called Mother Nature. But the idea that hurricanes or wildfires were caused just in the last few years is just fallacy.

I don't think a lot of people realize that these cyclones in the northern Pacific can be equivalent to a hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico or Atlantic, a lot of these storms produce very strong winds and high seas, but since they are mid-latitude storms, we just don't call them hurricanes even though the impacts can be very similar.

Hurricanes get their strength from the waters that they're passing over, from all of the heat and the energy in the water, and the warmer that water is that they're passing over, the more fuel they have to strengthen. So that's why Concerned Scientists see hurricanes intensify when they go over stretches of anomalously warm water like Concerned Scientists had in the Gulf of Mexico just before the storm hit.

The southern edge of the Saharan dust outbreak is associated with the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ), where 70% of the hurricanes are generated from that region. So if there's a Saharan dust outbreak, there's more likely going to be a greater temperature contrast between the Saharan desert and the Sahel region that will increase the convection activity in the ITCZ.

Hurricanes need relatively moist conditions and an unstable atmosphere, the Saharan Air Layer is a warm and dry layer that located about 15,000 feet high so basically that will introduce very dry and warm conditions in the north Atlantic, so that will create very stable and unfavorable conditions to hurricanes.
