So the truth is that our current climate is not promoting extremely powerful hurricanes (>cat 3) hitting the US mainland. And our current climate is a cold Pacific with a slightly warm to cooling Atlantic. In this pattern, according to expert Joe Bastardi, hurricanes tend to go up the east coast and not into the gulf. That is why Sandy occurred. And we could get another this season.
Worth repeating. Weather rules. Climate is secondary, global warming from CO2 is a very minor component of climate. Solar spectral changes are more important along with ocean circulation cycles. Those are responsible for patterns like the lack of strong hurricanes hitting us.
