Warming seas causing more frequent and devastating typhoons and hurricanes are almost certainly the result of human activity, according to new research.

Research by a US-led team concluded that there is an 84% probability that human activity, mainly through carbon dioxide emissions, has accounted for most of the observed rise in sea surface temperature (SST) in the Atlantic and Pacific hurricane-forming regions (www.pnas.org/cgi/doi10. 1073pnas.0602861103).
