The organization\u2019s rapid studies aren\u2019t peer-reviewed but use peer-reviewed methods. The team of scientists tested the influence of climate change on Helene by analyzing weather data and climate models including the Imperial College Storm Model, the Climate Shift Index for oceans and the standard WWA approach, which compares an actual event with what might have been expected in a world that hasn\u2019t warmed about 1.3 degrees Celsius since pre-industrial times.<\/p>\n<p>A separate analysis of Helene last week by Department of Energy Lawrence Berkeley National Lab scientists determined that climate change caused 50% more rainfall in some parts of Georgia and the Carolinas, and that observed rainfall was \u201cmade up to 20 times more likely in these areas because of global warming.\u201d That study was also not peer-reviewed but used a method published in <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\"><a class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/studies-warming-made-harveys-deluge-3-times-more-likely-84a15ce683754305a4ed48d69563fe09\">a study about Hurricane Harvey<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>Kim Cobb, director of the Institute at Brown for Environment and Society, wasn\u2019t involved in either study. She said there are uncertainties in exactly how much climate change is supercharging storms like Helene, but \u201cwe know that it\u2019s increasing the power and devastation of these storms.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She said Helene and Milton should serve \u201cas a wake up call\u201d for emergency preparedness, resilience planning and the increased use of fossil fuels. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cGoing forward, additional warming that we know will occur over the next 10 or 20 years will even worsen the statistics of hurricanes,\u201d she said, \u201cand we will break new
