According to the most recent evidence, there does not seem to be any sort of trend toward more hurricane
activity and the signal for a possible
increase in
intensity is weak.
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).
While many studies of the effects of global warming on hurricanes predict an
increase in various metrics of Atlantic basin - wide
activity, it is less clear that this signal will emerge from background noise in measures of hurricane damage, which depend largely on rare, high -
intensity landfalling events and are thus highly volatile compared to basin - wide storm metrics.
If so, this is one way in which global warming may end up causing a decrease in Atlantic hurricane
activity over the coming decades, since the
increased wind shear over the Atlantic during El Niño events greatly reduces the number and
intensity of these storms.»

«The IPCC hierarchy had its mind made up years ago to make every attempt possible to link rising levels of CO2 with
