There have been two scientific publications (one by Emmanuel Kerry) in the past year that have determined that hurricane intensity is increasing b/c of higher ocean temps. Global warming increases ocean temps...leading to higher energy storms. The frequency of storms also has increased but there may be multiple causes including a cyclical pattern. Scientists examinig these issues look at worldwide weather and not just Atlantic Ocean.
Check out the scientific literature that examines atmospheric data for over 650,000 years preserved in glacial ice. The data used by the experts in this field has led to robust scientific conclusions that include temperature data over shorter periods of time but are not limited to that data.
