After the very destructive 2004 & 2005 hurricane seasons there was some
suggestion that a warming climate was increasing the intensity of
tropical cyclones. The general consensus now is that in a warmer
climate, tropical cyclone numbers globally will decrease, and there will
be a small increase in the intensity and rainfall (about 5%). In this
case, natural variability will dominate over any long term trends.
