iser, has warned
that global warming may be responsible for the devastation reaped by Hurricane
Katrina.

"The increased intensity of hurricanes is associated with global warming,"
Professor King told Channel 4 News yesterday. "We have known since 1987 the
intensity of hurricanes is related to surface sea temperature and we know
that, over the last 15 to 20 years, surface sea temperatures in these regions
have increased by half a degree centigrade.

"So it is easy to conclude that the increased intensity of hurricanes is
associated with global warming."

Professor Kerry Emanuel of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology also
claimed, less than a month ago, that ocean surfaces had become warmer, which
doubled the destructive potential of tropical storms in the past 30 years.

But he said that Monday's storm "is part of a natural" cycle of powerful
Atlantic storms that have struck since 1995. He told The Independent: "I
don't think you can put this down to global warming."

Other scientists point out that the 150-year record of Atlantic storms show
there is ample precedent for hurricanes of Katrina's power. They say it is
part of a natural upswing that has taken place since the mid-90s.

Officials at the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said
records showed hurricane activity in the Atlantic had been higher than normal
in nine of the past 11 years. This month the federal agency raised its hurricane
forecast for this year from 18 to 21 tropical storms, including as many as
11 that would become hurricanes.

If that prediction holds true, it would make this year one of the most violent
hurricane seasons recorded. A typical year in the Atlantic results in six
hurricanes. The agency said the increase was lik
