But, in any case, the frequency of hurricanes is only one measure. You asked "where are the effects" and I specifically answered your question by listing numerous examples of extreme weather of many types. I also gave links to my sources, many of which were scientific publications or insurance publications - not just articles on Fox News, or whatever.
The world has had extreme weather forever. The world has never been devoid of extreme weather. Nothing actually shows an increase only those who try and predict that they will increase despite their predictions falling flat.

You can cherry pick and say this year was worse than X year, but that is all that has been done.

We know we had warmer climate during the Medieval warming period, which lasted for hundreds of years. Then we had the little ice-age which lasted for hundreds of years. We know we just warmed out of the little ice-age, so how much more natural warming will we witness? Will we continue to warm up, or go back into a century long new ice-age? Our scientists cannot explain or predict any of this, all they do is observe, theorize and prognosticate.

Once again, your response is the same as all your other responses. LOL

You're a one-trick pony. Your "intellectual" assessments are always concluded by you responding, "You didn't answer my question!" Basically, you have no responses or anything to say.
