Do you really think there are more nowadays, or are the drivebys just counting more storms as tropical because “muh climate change”?
Also, who knows how many storms we had each year before satellites and radar?
My take is there is nothing new under the sun when it comes to these weather (NOT climate) events.
AND - to EVERY climate change promoter world wide—We’re still in a ice age. Glaciations and interglacials have been happening for 4 million years. Nothing new. If anything, our activity just might keep the returning ice at bay.
Other than the fact that it is 2020, with all calamities thereof, no doubt storms are named due to changes in technology and criteria. There is something called a Scatterometer which is used to determine storms which could be named. Prior to the Scatterometer, many of the current named systems would not have used up a letter of the alphabet.
