text: Thanks for your entirely uninformed post.  Even if what you said is true - which it is not - we could still be seeing an impact due to AGW.  What if a higher percentage of today's hurricanes reach "major" status (> cat 3)?  That alone could be significant.  
  
  But if you look back at the records of the strongest storms (in terms of max sustained winds, 1 min. avg) the data show a disproportionate number of them occurred in the more recent decades (my first quick look at Atlantic hurricanes showed 6 of the top 7 occurring since 1980, for instance.)
  
  Feel free to go ahead and continue spouting lies while ignoring what the data says to further your head-in-the-sand agenda.
  
  Simple physics states that warmer water carries more energy, warmer air can cold more moisture.  Observations conclude the air has warmed, the oceans have warmed, and the seas have risen in the last 100 years.  How could these NOT affect what hurricanes do?
