For example, when examining hurricanes and typhoons, the lack of a high - quality, long - term historical record, uncertainty regarding the impact of climate change on storm frequency and inability to accurately simulate these storms in most global climate models raises significant challenges when attributing assessing the impact of climate change on any single storm.

On the other hand, as Emanuel emphasizes, there is no evidence that the global frequency of hurricanes is rising.

There are some physics - based theories regarding the nature of climate change yes, but the ONLY way to test them is on the basis of the sort of evidence that climate scientists have been collecting for many years now, on, for example, global temperatures, ocean temperatures, sea level, frequency of drought, hurricanes, rainstorms, etc..

Sooner or later the increased severity of hurricanes (which are already twice a strong due to higher SST), and increased frequency and severity of El Nino, will have to be called what they are: manifestations of global warming.

Soundbite version: «Global warming is expected to increase sea surface temperatures, create a thicker and warmer ocean surface layer, and increase the moisture in the atmosphere over the oceans — all conditions that should lead to a general increase in hurricane intensity and maybe frequency.»

When discussing the influence of anthropogenic global warming on hurricane or tropical cyclone (TC) frequency and intensity (see e.g. here, here, and here), it is important to examine observed past trends.

4:38 p.m. Updated I read Mark Fischetti's piece on global warming and hurricanes in Scientific American just now, which points to a recent PNAS study finding «a statistically significant trend in the frequency of large surge events» from tropical cyclones in the Atlantic.

It depends on the signal - to - noise ratio, so for global temperature in recent decades 20 years has been about enough, for CO2 concentration 4 years is more than enough while for hurricane frequency 50 years is probably too short.

We find no anthropogenic signal in annual global tropical cyclone or hurricane frequencies.

[UPDATE, 8/13/09: Fresh analysis shows, once again, the challenges involved in discerning if the changes in hurricane frequency and characteristics in recent years are anomalous and linked to human - caused global warming.]

Taking a view that frequency and strength of hurricanes are influenced by GHG emissions and global warming may not seem to be in the best short term interest or mission of the DOC.

While there's evidence that increasing greenhouse heating of the planet is exacerbating hot spells and extreme downpours, and may be related to hurricane intensity (but not frequency), a combination of imprecise records and deep complexity in the mix of forces that generate killer tornadoes has clouded any link to global warming.

The frequency of more intense hurricanes, possibly enhanced by global warming may have increased as well.

«The IPCC hierarchy had its mind made up years ago to make every attempt possible to link rising levels of CO2 with increases in global hurricane intensity and frequency... Input from skeptics or any hypothesis or data that did not link rises in CO2 to increases in tropical cyclone activity was to be avoided, suppressed, or rejected.»

«Coming off one of the most devastating hurricane seasons in recent memory, many are quick to blame the strength and frequency of these storms on global warming.

Global tropical cyclone activity is near historic lows, the frequency of major U.S. hurricanes has declined, and big tornados have dramatically declined since the 1970s.

Similarly more intense hurricanes have been linked to climate change although it is still uncertain whether global warming will increase hurricane frequency.

The latest IPCC Assessment Report concludes that we don't know enough to determine if events like hurricanes, tornados, and hailstorms will increase or decrease in frequency due to Global Warming.

Like many other conference speakers and attendees, Secretary - General Ban cited the recent droughts, floods, and Tropical Storm Sandy as proof of the dire consequences of man - made global warming, even though many studies and scientists (including scientists who usually fall into the climate alarmist category) have stated that there is no evidence to support claims that «extreme weather» has been increasing in frequency and / or magnitude in recent years, or that extreme events (hurricanes, droughts, heat waves, etc.) have anything to do with increased CO2 levels.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change reported in its most recent scientific assessment that «[n] o robust trends in annual numbers of tropical storms, hurricanes, and major hurricanes... have been identified over the past 100 years in the North Atlantic basin,» and that there are «no significant observed trends in global tropical cyclone frequency.»

As noted previously on this blog, when hurricane damages are adjusted («normalized») to account for changes in population, per capita income, and the consumer price index, there is no long - term trend such as might indicate an increase in hurricane frequency or power related to global climate change.

We have identified considerable interannual variability in the frequency of global hurricane landfalls; but within the resolution of the available data, our evidence does not support the presence of significant long - period global or individual basin linear trends for minor, major, or total hurricanes within the period (s) covered by the available quality data.

Many scientists believe hotter and cooler oceans could lead to dramatic shifts in not just global temperature levels but also hurricane frequency.
