Maybe they got it backwards. Maybe global warming is STOPPING hurricanes. Or maybe hurricanes were CAUSING global warming. Who knows, but I'm sure the leeches we pay to play with their models will have some new explanation as to why warming has paused and CO2 production is spewing out at ever increasing levels and the hurricanes appear to have gone in hiding.
Let's all watch our paid scientists come up with more stories.

Over Labor Day weekend, there were exactly zero tropical cyclones anywhere in the world—a very rare late-summer respite. (1500 GMT on Aug. 29 to 2100 GMT on Sept. 1—78 total hours—to be exact, according to data compiled by University of Miami meteorologist Brian McNoldy.) It’s been several decades since there’s been such a lull on the first day of what’s normally the season’s most active month:
The last Pacific tropical system disintegrated exactly a month ago, on Aug. 4, not that the storm-weary Philippines is complaining. Before Hurricane Arthur’s July 3 landfall, the U.S. mainland had gone nearly two years since its last direct hurricane strength strike. It’s been much longer since a major hurricane came ashore—exactly 3,237 days (more than nine years) since Hurricane Wilma hit Florida in October 2005. That is by far the longest streak since American recordkeeping began and has generated a flood of debate (pardon the pun) in the media.
Actually they are not predicting more hurricanes, they are predicting that they will be more powerful and destructive, looks like they got that dead on.

The article was regarding a deart of hurricanes in 2014 just in the Atlantic Ocean but you are correct, intensity is the key as predicted.
We were looking to invest in a vacation property in the keys once upon a time. The hurricane insurance was enough to bankrupt you. Think of it as the equivalent of health insurance on high risk patients with pre-existing conditions. I also believed the science that global warming and the warming of the oceans would create more devastating storms. We talked about it and decided not to buy anything in a hurricane zone. Thank you scientists, thank you informed research for saving us a world of hurt. I'm glad we didn't make an emotional decision to buy.

Correct, I was simply pointing out the actual truth of the situation. Thank God I do not live on the coast or in the earthquake zone, well sorta not in it, but then again I live in tornado alley so it seems there is no truly safe place. Mother nature owns the planet, not the little creatures crawling about on it claiming it is theirs, I have fire ant mounds that probably think the same, not as of an hour ago.
