It seems to me, that global warming would reduce hurricanes, not make them
worse. My logic is this. Hurricanes are caused by temperature differences,
and global warming would reduce temperature differences.
The colder the poles are, the more moisture they sucked out of the air. And
if the polar regions became warmer, then the rainfall and cloud cover would
increase. Causing the warm regions to become cooler.
And with the cold regions becoming warmer, and the warm regions becoming
cooler, the temperature differential that causes storms would be reduced.
Therefore I would expect more mild temperate weather.
