Neither models nor analyses support the notion that Greenhouse Gas induced warming leads to large increases in either tropical storms or overall hurricanes in the attic. One of our studies projects an increase in hurricanes over the 21st century. We estimate that such an increase would not be detectable until the latter half of the century.
