Is the counter-argument something to do with the upper troposphere being
forecast to warm more than lower down and so reducing instability?
I have heard it said, by those more knowledgeable than me, that the
reduction in the polar-equatorial temperature gradient (due to the poles
warming faster) would make tropical storms less likely, by making it
more difficult for "disturbed" ares of weather to organise.
I can see how a reduced polar-equatorial temperature gradient might
reduce the number or intensity of mid-latitude depressions, but I can't
see how it could have an effect on hurricanes. But then my knowledge of
atmospheric dynamics isn't very good.
