MIAMI -- National Hurricane Center director Bill Read said it would take tens of millions of dollars and five to 10 years to reduce errors in forecasting hurricane intensity.
Read Tuesday said intensity forecasts are much harder for meteorologists than track predictions.
Read also talked about the sensitive issue of a link between global warming and hurricanes. He acknowledged that while people who model storms largely suggest global warming is real and going to get worse, they differ on the possible outcomes for hurricanes.
