Study Finds Climate Change Raised Cyclone Arnab's Damage by 33 Percent
A study by Imperial College London's Grantham Institute found that climate change increased the damage caused by Tropical Cyclone Arnab, which hit eastern India on October 28, by 33 percent compared to a pre-industrial climate. The cyclone brought intense rain and winds up to 202 km/h, causing severe infrastructure damage and economic losses in Andhra Pradesh and Odisha. Researchers used climate models to compare current conditions with a scenario without human-induced warming, attributing about 25 percent of the total economic damage directly to climate change.
