The recent increase in intense storm activities and huge storm losses has attracted great interests and triggered a hot debate over whether it is linked to global warming or only a part of the large interdecadal variability. Due to the short instrumental record, it’s difficult to understand the complex processes and mechanism of storm generation and development. In the past more than 10 years, significant progress has been achieved in both methodology and findings in Paleotempestology. As to the heated debate on the link between the increased storm and global warming, the study suggests that the storm activities do not just passively respond to climate change, and storm activities may be closely tied to global temperature patterns through feedbacks-the storm activities may accelerate the global warming, and as a feedback, global warming will increase storms.
