-
Since 1800s temperature has raised by .8-1.3 degrees Celsius because of humans
-
Since 1880 the sea level has risen about 9 inches
-
Tropical cyclones/hurricanes are expected to become more frequent and more intense with stronger winds, more rain and less marsh land to protect cities
-
The number of category 4-5 hurricanes are expected to increase
-
In 2100 hundred hurricanes intensity is expected to be 11% higher
-
In the 1980s there was an average of about 7 tropical storms/hurricanes per year and there is now an average of about 10 tropical storms/hurricanes per year in the Atlantic
-
All of this information can be gathered through storm data, but "There is no strong evidence of increasing trends in U.S. landfalling hurricanes or major hurricanes, or of Atlantic basin-wide hurricanes or major hurricanes since the late 1800s."

Studies indicate that hurricane intensity should and is increasing with rising global mean temperature.
-
Atlantic sea and air temperatures have risen
-
PDI (Power dissipation index) takes into account the frequency, strength,
and duration of tropical cyclones
-
Since 1958 temperatures have increased by .09 degrees Celsius
