This is my point. look at the data. No sudden increase anywhere. Use that tool and pick a station anywhere in the world.

My post was simply to show the state of current scientific research in the area of climate change and hurricanes.

riversnout - thanks, but that article doesn't conflict with any of the links I provided.

Unfortunately, this is just another example of cherry picking. The links I provided show the current state of what scientists think about climate change and the potential it has regarding future hurricanes. I made no claim about them and just hoped people would read them so they could better understand the current scientific debate regarding the subject and not go off on some media-based claims about what scientists are saying.

Riversnout wants to change it to sea-level changes which 1) are not the primary sea-level changes being discussed in the links I provided and 2) will only affect the impacts of hurricanes when they hit land, not their strength and 3) these links discuss potential future events, not those of the last century.

Again, here are the links for everyone to read:

https://www.gfdl.noaa.gov/global-warming...urricanes/
https://www.c2es.org/content/hurricanes-...te-change/
https://www.ucsusa.org/global-warming/sc...hange.html

Finally, Hawaii has been hit by three tropical storms since 2014. This is somewhat unprecedented. Now, if that's due to weather or climate is unclear, but trying to argue things using irrelevant data and/or using what someone without training in the sciences says on the internet should not be taken seriously.
