As time goes on, and the overall heat of our planet increases, the likelihood of more and more powerful storms increases as well.

The outcome is an irreversible heating of the planet in a post-industrial era.

From Alaska to Australia, an unprecedented heating of planet Earth is underway with rising temperatures across huge swathes of land mass and oceans

It is still a matter of debate whether climate change will increase the number of hurricanes, but it is more and more clear that human - caused heating of the planet will boost their severity.

Given that there is continual heating of the planet, referred to as radiative forcing, by accelerating increases of carbon dioxide (Figure 1) and other greenhouses due to human activities, why is the temperature not continuing to go up?

Several studies have shown that much of the excess heating of the planet due to the radiative imbalance from ever - increasing greenhouses gases has gone into the ocean, rather than the atmosphere (see e.g. Foster and Rahmstorf and Balmaseda et al.).

In the case where there is a skin temperature that only depends on solar heating of the planet with no solar heating above the troposphere, an increase in GHG forcing would still result in upper atmospheric cooling, but this cooling would only be transient.

However, given that the overall warming or heating of the planet continues at a rate equivalent to 4 Hiroshima atomic bomb detonations per second, this framing of the issue is clearly inaccurate and misleading.
