Line 44:
On October 9, researchers with [[World Weather Attribution]] concluded with "high confidence" that Helene was made worse by [[climate change]]. In a scientific assessment, researchers found that Helene had 10% more rain, had winds that were 13 miles per hour more intense, and drew energy from water that was 2.3 degrees Fahrenheit warmer due to climate change.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Raymond |first=Zhong |date=October 10, 2024 |title=Global Warming Made Helene More Menacing, Researchers Say |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/09/climate/hurricane-helene-climate-change.html |url-access=subscription |access-date=October 10, 2024 |work=[[The New York Times]] |issn=0362-4331}}</ref>{{Clarify|reason=Relative to what?|date=October 2024}} This "13 miles per hour" means that the wind speed increased by 11% and as the destruction from hurricanes grew by 50% when the wind speed increased by 5%, [[climate change]] increased the destruction from the hurricane by more than twice. Researchers from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory found that in some parts of Georgia and North Carolina climate change increased the rainfall from the storm by more than 50%.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Nuccitelli |first1=Dana |title=Climate change made Hurricane Helene and other 2024 disasters more damaging, scientists find |url=https://yaleclimateconnections.org/2024/10/climate-change-made-hurricane-helene-and-other-2024-disasters-more-damaging-scientists-find/ |website=Yale Climate Connections |date=October 9, 2024 |publisher=The Yale Center for Climate Communication, Yale School of the Environment |access-date=16 October 2024}}</ref>
