The average number of U.S. landfalling hurricanes since 1851 is 1.69.

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.»

For instance, globally there has been a more than threefold increase in loss - related floods since 1980 and more than double the number of windstorm natural catastrophes, with particularly heavy losses as a result of Atlantic hurricanes.

There has been a substantial increase in most measures of Atlantic hurricane activity since the early 1980s, the period during which high quality satellite data are available.20, 21,22 These include measures of intensity, frequency, and duration as well as the number of strongest (Category 4 and 5) storms.

Despite the lack of an El Niño effect, 2017 is set to be the second or third hottest year on record; hurricanes unprecedented in their power pummelled the U.S. and Caribbean; the largest wildfires California has seen burned deep into the Northern Hemisphere winter; scientists warned the «Arctic shows no sign of returning to the reliably frozen region of recent past decades»; studies revealed an ecological armageddon amongst insect populations; droughts fuelled famine and insecurity across East Africa and the Middle East; the U.N. warned the number of chronically undernourished people has risen for the first time since the turn of the century due in large part to climate impacts.
