As noted above, there is some indication from high resolution models of substantial increases in the numbers of the most
intense hurricanes even if the overall number of tropical storms or hurricanes decreases.
To my knowledge there is no well - established link for that (though climate change is indeed making the most
intense hurricanes even stronger).
Not exact matches
Most likely we are already committed to at least some of these climate changes, and
even if the models are wrong and these increased numbers of
intense hurricanes fail to emerge in the future, Knutson and his colleagues believe that society still needs to work harder at minimizing the damage
hurricanes cause.
As you'll know there is no consensus on that particular question yet (from what I recall there may be little change in numbers, or maybe
even somewhat fewer, but among these there should be more
intense ones, but
hurricanes are one of the more difficult things to predict).
More
intense or longer Pacific warm - ups could stifle Atlantic and Caribbean
hurricanes even with warmer seas, Dr. Donnelly said.
That is almost as much as
Hurricane Katrina,
even though
Hurricane Sandy was much less
intense.
Even though tornadoes are smaller than
hurricanes, the winds can be more
intense.
