For those who want to do a little more reading on the current state of scientific research on climate change and hurricanes, you might try the following links. Although much of the current work concentrates on Atlantic storms for obvious reasons, the work also includes the potential effects elsewhere including the NE Pacific which is very relevant to Hawaii.

Just looked at the first link so far. I saw "What changes in hurricane activity are expected for the late 21st century, given the pronounced global warming scenarios from IPCC models?". Well, throw that out for starters. Then "Sea level rise–which very likely has a substantial human contribution to the global mean observed rise according to IPCC AR5". Here is the official sea level rise-ometer for Honolulu which goes back to 1905. The current rate of rise is 0.49 feet in 100 years which is 6 inches. I guess we can throw that out as well.
