I believe the jury is still out on the question of the number of tropical cyclones because the IPCC's assessment has so far not included studies on the relationship between the number of tropical cyclones and the area of high sea surface temperature, such as the analysis shown in Fig 2 (1).

The change in radiation balance is more heating of the oceans at one side (specifically high in the subtropics, as expected), but more heat released at higher altitudes, thus somewhere acting as a net negative feedback to higher sea surface temperatures.

«The IPCC Summary notes that there is evidence for increased hurricane intensity in the North Atlantic, which is correlated with higher sea surface temperatures.

The higher sea surface temperatures in the tropics (~ 0.85 K / decade in recent decades) have lead to an increase in LW (infrared) radiation, and a loss to space of some 3 W / m2 all over the tropics (50 % of the surface), which more than halves the — theoretical — global influence (~ 2.4 W / m2) of all extra GHGs together since the start of the industrial revolution.
