Would that fuel more and more powerful hurricanes?


Hadn't thought about that but it seems probable. I suppose one way of
looking at it could be that if one route for carrying heat from the Tropics
is closed down (NAD), then would hurricanes have to carry more of the
burden?

The effect could have started already.
