Will hurricanes increase due to global warming?
It has been theorized that global warming will lead to an increased number and severity of hurricanes, however weather predictions are so incredibly complex that it is currently impossible to know for certain. Some of the most recent global-warming-related predictions failed miserably (predicting an increase in hurricanes in years when the actual number actually decreased). In general, however, the theory is quite plausible since global warming would mean an increase in atmospheric energy and hurricanes are most certainly a very obvious manifestation of a very energetic atmosphere.
