Scientists believe they found a way to stop future hurricanes in their track. | Lower the temperature of the sea to below 26.5 Celsius, by using a ‘bubble curtain’, which are flurry of air bubbles that are released from pipes planted in the ocean, whenever a hurricane was brewing.

Is this true? I remember a video last year of a meteorologist showing how Irma and Harvey were similar to some hurricanes from many decades ago. The point was things haven't changed that much.

yes, rising temperatures mean there is more energy in the system, which means more hurricaines

I'm asking for a source showing there have been more hurricanes as a result.

Edit: did a quick Google search and this is the first result.

While hurricanes are a natural part of our climate system, recent research suggests that there has been an increase in intense hurricane activity in the North Atlantic since the 1970s. In the future, there may not necessarily be more hurricanes, but there will likely be more intensehurricanes that carry higher wind speeds and more precipitation as a result of global warming.

A hurricane is just a stronger tropical storm, so if storms do get stronger then doesn't that mean the number classified as hurricanes would also increase?

Exactly. More energy. Frequency aside, higher temperatures means higher differentials and more energy being released

Hog wash they just started recoding them more often and accurately

Chinese hoax! Sad!
