Lloyds Insurers, which regards the statement that global warming is real and is human-caused as uncontentious, and aware of the ever-increasing gap between insurance and loss globally, has partnered with Cambridge Uni to conduct research on "catastrophic modelling and climate change" - see exec summary of 2014 scientific paper at [https://www.lloyds.com/news-and-insight/risk-insight/library/natural-environment/catastrophe-modelling-and-climate-change]. The conclusion is that w.r.t hurricanes, the important "tell" re global warming is not precipitation, nor frequency, but storm surge, enhanced by warming oceans and sea level rise, rendering loss from such events as continually rising with time. Ivo, by selecting meteorologists known as climate change deniers, you have cherry picked your data to support your conclusion i.e. that hurricanes are no more damaging than they were 100 years ago. Try telling that to residents in SE USA, whose experience over time is of ever greater flood damage
