In the spirit of respecting the science around global warming, here's a forthcoming scientific study that suggests that global warming may actually reduce hurricane activity in the Atlantic. The study reports that due to a predicted increase in wind shear, hurricane activity in the Atlantic and Eastern Pacific may actually decrease as temperatures rise. However, the study noted that global warming may decrease wind shear in the Western Pacfic (in addition to warming the ocean), creating a hotspot for greater tropical cyclones there.
Oh that science, always so nuanced...
