Perhaps the only positive effect of hurricanes is that they are heat dumps. They develop when the energy of condensation piles up on top of already warm tropical waters. Were this mechanical process not to exist, global warming and climate change would unarguably become an issue that no one could ever debate.
Hurricanes do most of their damage with high winds and storm surges. The global warming effect on the former is debated, but the latter isn't. Global sea levels have risen approximately 1.7 mm per year between 1950 and 2009, and at an accelerated pace of 3.3 mm from 1993 on. This is due to climatic changes.
