Every Thursday, MPR meteorologist Paul Huttner joins Kerri Miller to talk about the latest research on our changing climate and the consequences we're seeing here in Minnesota and worldwide.

The 2015 hurricane season has already been unusual: Hurricane Ana was an out-of-season storm last month in the Atlantic. Blanca is the earliest tropical cyclone on record to hit Baja, California, a full month earlier than the previous record.

"Hurricanes...are very fussy creations."

In this segment we explore if climate change and warm oceans are changing the nature of hurricane season.

See Ben speak

You can see Ben Santer speak at the Science Museum of Minnesota on June 16 from 7 - 9 p.m.
