One key example has been communication on the scientific question of the relationship between global warming and increased hurricane intensity.

His assertion that global warming is playing a role in increased hurricane intensity became may play.

The logic makes sense (increased SST's increase hurricane intensity which increases damages from any given storm), but logic is not the same as scientific evidence.

I have traced many hurricanes individually against the GAPV trend, when the GAPV increases the hurricane intensity increases, the hurricane intensity peaks in time with the GAPV peak, and both fall together.

However, the IPCC claims all ilk of adverse effect (extreme temperature, increased drought, increased flooding, increased hurricane intensity, etc.), none of which are corroborated.

Anticipated changes include melting glaciers and polar ice, more extreme precipitation events, agricultural impacts, wildfires, heat waves, increased incidence of some infectious diseases, sea level rise, ocean acidification, and increased hurricane intensity.

As we pointed out previously, the North - Atlantic oscillation might explain the increased hurricane intensity in the Atlantic, but not in the Pacific.

I also say that AGW has increased hurricane intensity in general, and is expected to increase it more so in the future, perhaps giving us even Category 6 hurricanes.

(It seems conceivable that the cooler subsurface water down to the hurricane mixing level has taken many years to capture the surface heating, but now that it has, we could experience rapidly increasing hurricane intensities.)

Having full knowledge that warmer SST's are very important for increasing Hurricane intensities would make it a basic requirement in explaining otherwise, something they don't want to say, that a warmer planet causes more hurricanes.

A combination of computer simulations and observational data reveal that air pockets from the eye can transport heat and moisture into the surrounding storm, increasing the hurricane's intensity.

In contrast, Chakraborty and his colleagues found the opposite to be true: Rainpower acts to significantly lessen, not increase, hurricane intensity.

Previously, researchers thought rain in the eyewall increased a hurricane's intensity, as heat released from the condensing water added to the overall power of the storm.

Even as cities become more vulnerable to moderate storms, the intensity of hurricanes may increase dramatically, says Kerry Emanuel, a meteorologist at MIT.
