As the Atlantic ocean warms, climate change is fueling Hurricane Melissa's ferocity

The warming of the world's oceans caused by climate change helped double Hurricane Melissa 's wind speed in less than 24 hours over the weekend, climate scientists said Monday. Hurricane Melissa is currently a Category 5 storm, the highest category, with sustained wind speeds of over 157 mph (252 kph). Melissa is forecast to make landfall in Jamaica on Tuesday before crossing Cuba and the Bahamas through Wednesday.
