Scientists say climate change doesn’t cause hurricanes but that warming and rising seas supercharge those already forming.

Not just going to say B.S....but think its good to break it down.

They conflated "climate change" with the "warning" and "rising" seas in this little sentence. A little funny since it used to be called "global warming" and now its just "climate change"...but it seems they want us to think of it as a cause of warming in this particular case.

Does the man made portion of "climate change" cause hurricanes? we have no fricken idea but its very unlikely it had much effect, because the patterns of hurricanes are not very unusual. And the change in climate has not been unusual since mankind has been sinning against the global warming gods.

Does waming in the seas cause hurricanes to be more intense? Yes. This has been about as well established as any theory about weather can be. But since the warmth of the seas has not been that unusual, the hurricane patterns have not been that unusual.

What about sea level rising? Its very slow, only a few centimeters per century for the past 8000 years or so. By contrast the earlier sea level rise from the start of our current interglacial period (about 11,700 years ago) was much more pronounced. What a few centimeters of rise per century has to do with hurricanes being more intense as it relates to human contribution to climate change seems to be a pretty pointless conflation.
