I also never said climate change would increase the number of hurricanes. I said that we were entering a natural cycle of more storms. The link between hurricane formation and natural cycles like El-Nino is well established and earlier this year they recognized that because of those patterns this year would be likely be more busy. I did say the ones that formed would be stronger. That is because our ocean waters are warmer and warm water fuels hurricanes. I do attribute our warmer ocean waters to climate change, and that isn't going to change. So going forward we will have stronger storms on average.

But I in fact do believe they are becoming more frequent due to climate change. This table shows named storms from 2015 back to time started recorded taking.

It doesn't take a climate scientist to look at the number of storms formed to see that single digit storm years are the exception now when prior to 1997 when they occurred as often as double digit year.
If your curious 2016 was busy with 15, storms 7 hurricanes, 4 of which experts referred to as 'major'. A major storm that doesn't make landfall in u.s. causing damage is still a major hurricane.

As for 2017, we just had a name with the letter 'H' so that tells you where we are now in terms of number of storms and we have a full month left.
Frankly who argues against climate change at this stage is not really open to information so I don't expect to change anyone's mind one bit. Like the smokers in the 60s and 70s they always talked about there was no 'real' proof of smoking causing lunch cancer. Two thirds of these people went the way of John Wayne.
Just glad that our military leaders and the rest of the worlds industrial leaders do believe and are trying to take some action.
