More Strong Hurricanes Due to Global Warming | EYES IN
But wind speeds don't tell the whole story, said John Abraham, a thermal scientist at the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, Minn. The size of a storm, the amount of rain it dumps, and the size of the wave surges it produces also determine how damaging a hurricane will be, even though the category scale doesn't take those details into account.
All of those factors are likely to get worse with climate warming, Abraham said.

In addition to the severe droughts and floods that have struck around the country in the last year or two, Abraham said, powerful hurricanes are adding to the economic toll that weather is increasingly taking on our society.
"The hurricanes that really matter, that cause damage, are increasing," Abraham said. "What scientists have been saying would happen for decades is now happening. There's an economic cost to not doing anything about this problem."

Care to debate me on the history or US hurricanes Mr Abraham. I'm your Huckleberry. Cmon, lets see if you can show explain 21 major hits in 20 years in the 40s and 50s or donna hitting every state fla to maine with hurricane winds or1938,1944 1954. The 33 hurricane hitting from the ese. The Labor day hurricane in the keys at 26.35 or Carla. Its unreal that you make the statement you do. You simply think no one will look. Well we are not weather voyeurs simply peaking in when it suits our needs. Now come on out and you debate me one on one on the history and the physical drivers of the great hurricane seasons.. . Lets go, I am ready
