I know that. I live in "hurricane" alley and I can't recall one person in the meteorlogical community ever considering global warming as a factor. El nino, yes.
There's this strange perception that some sort of recordbreaking season was forecast last year because of global warming.
Which is completely fictional, of course.
An above-average season in terms of total activity was forecast - a slightly below average season happened, because of an unforecast El Nino (which can be very difficult to forecast itself, and you have to forecast the state of ENSO to forecast the Atlantic Hurricane season.)
And very few storms hit the US. Nobody really hyped a specific US landfall threat other than the incompetent buffoons at AccuWeather.
