Climate change is predicted to increase the frequency of hurricanes.

Climate change is predicted to decrease the wind intensity of hurricanes

Answer 1

The correct response is: Climate change is predicted to increase the intensity of rainfall produced by hurricanes.

Additionally, while there is some debate about the overall frequency of hurricanes, many studies suggest that climate change may lead to an increase in the intensity of hurricanes, making them more severe when they do occur. However, it is generally not predicted that climate change will decrease the wind intensity of hurricanes.
