It's increased 1 degree Celsius overall on average in 150 years. Most of that in the polar regions.
Here's another good one.....

It's increased 1 degree Celsius overall on average in 150 years. Most of that in the polar regions.
And the effects are already visible. A direct correlation between temperature increase and the bleaching of coral reefs, sea level rise, and storm intensity. Even another degree would be catastrophic for ocean life.
I think you’re still confused about the information THE tried to put forth as proof of hurricane strength decreasing, and the disclosure in a study I linked stating that hurricane intensity isn’t a confident indicator of climate change effect (until the latter half of the century). Although the study listed it as increasing with moderate confidence.
The information put forth on that page shows multiple studies that in fact state frequency and strength on average are decreasing.
What you put forth was an overall decrease in low pressure system decreases in frequency and intensity, although the fronts attached to low pressure systems could still be quite volatile.
I think you are confused as to how you just verified what I have said the whole thread.
Be accurate. That statement is carefully worded. You should too.
Acidity is impacting the coral. Temperature would impact hurricanes, but it's not, because it shouldn't based on measurements today.
Hurricanes have increased. The article you posted cherrypicked, and is biased propaganda.
Heat levels impact the amount of acidity in the ocean.
I didnt expect you to understand because you either havent really read the thread or you are not capable of grasping the point.
Dave, seriously buddy 80% of your posts in the OT are insults.
Facts are on my side here. Global temps have increased, global ocean temps have increased, the frequency and intensity of hurricanes and tropical storms have increased.
?????
So, if water temps at the poles rise, but the tropics remain relatively constant, would you not see the same data you’ve posted yet have minimal to no impact on hurricane activity?
You might want to go take a look at the actual charts. There is one year that threw the chart out of whack and that was 2005, at least in the North Atlantic. I posted the data and averages on this about a year ago and pointed out the flaw in your logic. I’ll let you do the research this time.

They are still more frequent. Look at a specific period (2000-2018), versus ANY period prior to industrialization.
