There will be even more intense hurricanes over the next century as the earth's climate is warmed by increasing levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
Most hurricanes do not reach their maximum potential intensity before weakening over land or cooler ocean regions. However, those storms that do approach their upper-limit intensity are expected to be slightly stronger in the warmer climate due to the higher sea surface temperatures.

It is likely that a warmer climate would cause larger tropical storms, but at this point nobody can really make a claim one way or the other. Anyone that gives you a definate yes/no answer has no idea what they are talking about.
Global warming is real, whether or not you believe humans are causing it -- so don't listen to the morons that go on and on about how "global warming is a myth". That's BS, the planet is getting warmer - there is no question about that.

Those that preach the gospel of "global-warming" would say that any weather anomaly can be directly related to this supposed phenomenon. While it is true that we are in a years-long period of earth warming right now, it is not anything historically new for this planet. There is a natural ebb and flow to all of life, including the climate of earth. When will people stop pushing agendas and just admit that?
Hurricanes have been more of an issue in recent past, but again that is not anything new. In fact. last year's forecast was for some 20 to hit our nation, but NOT ONE did.
Much US weather does, however, depend upon the ebb and flow of what we call "El Nino". I think that actually is the source to keep an eye on for more accurate forecasting. The storms we have seen in the south lately are directly related to El Nino, NOT some global warming idea.
To demonstrate "ebb and flow", my father used to tell me of a time in the early 1930's when winters were so warm that farmers in the northern states plowed their fields in January!

No but there is a correlation between typhoons and global warming.
