You are correct that climate change has not affected the number or severity of hurricanes.  Despite the NYT's attempt to manipulate the numbers by focusing on the numbers since 1980 (which was a lull), hurricane frequency and intensity are not increasing.  The NOAA Director got pounded on for saying this the other day, but he is correct. (Not to mention that our ability to identify hurricanes has increased due to modern satellite technology.)

I think we've all now realized how the EPA can become politicized during Trump's admin.

The impact on hurricanes by global warming is not what you expect, but it does have an impact.

[quote]Yes, climate change is making hurricanes wetter, windier and altogether more intense. There is also evidence that it is causing storms to travel more slowly, meaning they can dump more water in one place

If it weren't for the oceans, the planet would be much hotter due to climate change.  But in the last 40 years, the ocean has absorbed about 90% of the warming caused by heat-trapping greenhouse gas emissions. Much of this ocean heat is contained near the water's surface. This additional heat can fuel a storm's intensity and power stronger winds.[/quote]

[quote] This bears repeating: global warming due to increasing greenhouse gases may lead to fewer hurricanes in the Atlantic, [u]although their peak winds are expected to increase a few percent[/u]. The mechanism for fewer Atlantic tropical storms and hurricanes with climate warming in most model projections is not a fully settled issue in climate science.[/quote]

so, while it's not settled theory, there is some concession that global warming will increase the strength of the winds though not the frequency of hurricanes.[/quote]

So, in other words, some scientists have theorized that hurricanes *may* become stronger in the future, but there is not yet any scientific consensus this issue (much less data).  Despite what the NYT and others try to claim.  It is interesting that you try to blame Trump propaganda for actual data on EPA's web site (I guess the Biden Administration hasn't looked to see what's there?).   [/quote]
Well, they [i]are [/i]intensifying faster. [/quote]
