"But we do know that overall, climate change causes stronger hurricanes" How do we know this? I can find all sorts of papers predicting stronger hurricanes, but just like the predictions of more numerous hurricanes, there seems to be little observational evidence of the effect. Here's the measured Accumulated Cyclone Energy, worldwide, 1970-2016. The total energy seems to peak in the mid 1990s. Is this consistent with claims of stronger hurricanes and more destructive hurricane seasons? https://www.wunderground.com/hurricane/accumulated_cyclone_energy.asp?basin=gl https://www.wunderground.com/hurricane/accumulated_cyclone_e...
