YES, it research is suggesting that warmer surface temperatures of the oceans, are supllying more energy to tropical storms.
it isn't suggesting that it is creating more of them, but when you think about what is going on above our heads and think about what makes a tornado form, it is only sensible to speculate that the trend could be causing more of them as well.

the cooling of higher layers of the atmosphere can produce changes in weather (wind) patterns in the higher latitudes. Thus, the chemical changes in the different layers of the atmosphere lead to dynamic changes that can have global and regional consequences for the climate.

hurricanes that do occur near the end of the 21st century are expected to be stronger and have significantly more intense rainfall than under present day climate conditions. This expectation (Figure 1) is based on an anticipated enhancement of energy available to the storms due to higher tropical sea surface temperatures.

If there was there should be a growing pattern by now and there simply is not. Last year there were a few more other years there were a few less. It averages out. Global warming in alarmist and few scientists now support it.

On the other hand most scientists support climate change. Mainly because the evidence is all there. The waether patterns have changed. Warm air now blows over the icecaps melting them. The same amount of rain falls but it falls in different places producing droughts and flooding.

There has been a burst of tornados and that again is averaged out but climate change explains any increase far better than global warming.

Where the sea temperature is cited as causing more hurricanes - try checking it out. Yes warm water builds and cold tends to demolish but the facts simply do not stack up in favour of global warming as the cause. If it was there would be a measurable increase in sea temperature (there is not) and hurricanes would become more and more frequent. This year hurricanes dropped off - just another part of the average!!

Climate change does mean that weather problems will continue to grow so although global warming is discredited, climate change needs just as much worrying about.

It is ironic that the US as the only major power not to sign up to the Kyoto agreement on climate change has five percent of the world population producing twenty five percent of the world polution and is probably suffering the worst effects of the weather. Unless the US is prepared to change it's ideas dramatically it can only get worse!!!!!

Chris Landsea at the National Hurricane Center led research on this very question. Answer is: NO correlation between "global warming" and hurricane numbers or intensity

U might find a better correlation between the solar 11 yr cycle. The info on global warming a large portion is based on the CO2 increasee,well there has been no increas. Go measure it the CO2 is not increasing and global is not from CO2. The green plants need CO2 as much as we do oxygen.
