The abnormally high Atlantic hurricane activity of the last 10 - 15 years may or may not be due to global warming, but the less - than - 2005 activity of the 2006 - 8 Atlantic hurricane seasons does not change the fact that the last 10 - 15 years have seen extra-ordinary hurricane activity.

Finally — it is not remotely necessary for a season to be as intense as 2005 in order for it to be very intense — after, all, 2004 (15 tropical storms, 9 hurricanes, 6 major hurricanes) had over 150 % of the activity of an average season, yet was much less active than 2005 (28 tropical and subtropical storms, 15 hurricanes and 7 major hurricanes.)

Tropical North Atlantic SST has exhibited a warming trend of ~ 0.3 °C over the last 100 years; whereas Atlantic hurricane activity has not exhibited trendlike variability, but rather distinct multidecadal cycles as documented here and elsewhere.

We find that a major result of these papers — that hurricane activity is increasing in most ocean basins — is not reproducible, due probably to the quality of the data that was originally used to establish this claim.

Over the «Main Development Region» for Atlantic hurricanes, the results are mixed and, to our eyes at least (see Figure 2), don't provide a compelling argument for hurricane activity reductions.

If we're considering the risk of hurricane damages, and not just overall basin activity, then the effect of increased vertical wind shear would seem to be (at least) twofold — it not only reduces potential intensity, but it also influences the steering of hurricanes (since hurricanes are basically steered by the background flow plus a beta drift).

But the new work did seem a lot more scientifically rigorous than most previous arguments against a link between global warming and hurricanes; which simply state we don't know enough about past hurricane activity to determine whether modern hurricane activity is unprecedented.

The one that is cited most frequently and authoritatively as the cause of the increasing hurricane activity is the AMO (for example, by William Gray, Phil Klotzbach, and Roger Pielke Jr. — see Storm frenzy is not an anomaly, but a phase, Sept 13 2005)

However, it don't agree that it is a definitive statement on the lack of a link between recent hurricane activity and anthropogenic global warming.

Is the rather definitive statement that «The increased activity since 1995 is due to natural fluctuations (and) cycles of hurricane activity driven by the Atlantic Ocean itself along with the atmosphere above it and not enhanced substantially by global warming» at all supportable?

Your statement here that «it is not possible for us to make any conclusions about effects of AGW on hurricane activity» is simply silly.

Hence it is not possible for us to make any conclusions about effects of AGW on hurricane activity.

My understanding of the hurricane debate is as follows: SST's ought to rise with global warming and all else equal that ought to mean greater hurricane reach / activity, but we don't really understand the «all else» yet.

In a year that brought the United States record - breaking wildfire activity, an ongoing drought, and Hurricane Sandy, perhaps these announcements aren't surprising.

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.»

... incomplete and misleading because it 1) omits any mention of several of the most important aspects of the potential relationships between hurricanes and global warming, including rainfall, sea level, and storm surge; 2) leaves the impression that there is no significant connection between recent climate change caused by human activities and hurricane characteristics and impacts; and 3) does not take full account of the significance of recently identified trends and variations in tropical storms in causing impacts as compared to increasing societal vulnerability.
