Hurricanes were fighters with global warming

Typhoons and hurricanes are a natural "means" to reduce carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. That conclusion came experts from Britain, Japan and Taiwan, published in the journal Nature Geoscience. Key findings of the study led New Scientist magazine and newspaper The Daily Telegraph.

Typhoon reduce the concentration of carbon dioxide, "pryacha" him at the bottom of the ocean. The process is as follows: hurricanes raised from the earth's surface dirt and leaf opad (living there bacteria produce carbon dioxide during its life). Along with strong downpours "potential carbon dioxide" gets to the bottom of rivers, and then to the ocean floor. Thus, a dangerous greenhouse gas forfeit "from the atmosphere.

Researchers have identified the changes in rainfall, which contains carbon dioxide, into the river Livu (LiWu) in Taiwan after the hurricane. According to their figures, from 80 to 90 per cent of the carbon dioxide material arrived in the river because of showers. A total of 14 hours in the river got five thousand tons of organic substances, which are a source of carbon dioxide.

Despite this characteristic of hurricanes, they can not become a panacea for global warming, one of the "perpetrators" who is considered carbon dioxide. While increasing the content of this greenhouse gas provokes hurricanes and typhoons, they can not reduce the CO2 content of up to the "safe" level.
