"A hurricane...is an efficent way to disperse heat through the planet and then out into space".

So more hurricanes means the planet is warming up?

Not necessarily. But it doesn mean that the average energy, or heat, flow to the oceans (from Sol) is increasing. How it is accumulating is the debate on global warming. A hurricane is an incredibly efficient cooling engine for the oceans. In fact, the ocean's surface water behind a good hurricane like this one can be 5 to 10 degrees F cooler after it passes by.
