Most studies refute your statement. This is not to say severity will not increase in the future but the peer-reviewed studies to date are inconclusive:

"Some recent scientific articles have reported a large increase in tropical cyclone energy, numbers, and wind-speeds in some regions during the last few decades in association with warmer sea surface temperatures. Other studies report that changes in observational techniques and instrumentation are responsible for these increases.

1. Though there is evidence both for and against the existence of a detectable anthropogenic signal in the tropical cyclone climate record to date, no firm conclusion can be made on this point.

2. No individual tropical cyclone can be directly attributed to climate change.

3. The recent increase in societal impact from tropical cyclones has largely been caused by rising concentrations of population and infrastructure in coastal regions.

4. Tropical cyclone wind-speed monitoring has changed dramatically over the last few decades, leading to difficulties in determining accurate trends.

5. There is an observed multi-decadal variability of tropical cyclones in some regions whose causes, whether natural, anthropogenic or a combination, are currently being debated. This variability makes detecting any long-term trends in tropical cyclone activity difficult.

6. It is likely that some increase in tropical cyclone peak wind-speed and rainfall will occur if the climate continues to warm. Model studies and theory project a 3-5% increase in wind-speed per degree Celsius increase of tropical sea surface temperatures.

7. There is an inconsistency between the small changes in wind-speed projected by theory and modeling versus large changes reported by some observational studies.

8. Although recent climate model simulations project a decrease or no change in global tropical cyclone numbers in a warmer climate, there is low confidence in this projection. In addition, it is unknown how tropical cyclone tracks or areas of impact will change in the future.

9. Large regional variations exist in methods used to monitor tropical cyclones. Also, most regions have no measurements by instrumented aircraft. These significant limitations will continue to make detection of trends difficult.

10. If the projected rise in sea level due to global warming occurs, then the vulnerability to tropical cyclone storm surge flooding would increase."

What about hamster farts?...they may be smaller than cows, but it sounds like there's going to more of them...
are we going to need to regulate the Hamster Farts?

But we don't have a good recorded history to verify that...

I'll show yo momma hurricane severity..!!

Screw the hamsters..!!

I heard that when the magnetic poles flip, hamsters will be the only creatures to survive.

Thanks Al. I read through that study but not once did I find it to say they HAVE INCREASED. Many times it stated they are expected to increase or the models predict an increase or it is likely that they will increase. That is certainly likely given that warmer water is proven to increase intensity and the oceans are warming.

Back to the OP.

A few days ago, one of Cortez's advisors where on Carlton Tucker's show (I saw it on YouTube as I don't watch Fox). He made the claim that the fact sheet that she had posted on her web site for over a day, had actually been a hoax put out by Republicans. Then in one interview, Cortez stated that her plan would require massive government intervention. 6 hours later in another interview, she claimed that government would have little involvement in the plan and that private investment would drive it. You can't make this stuff up.

Yes, well, I love you too, man.

Edited to add: Oh crap, did I just assume your pronoun? My sincere apologies.

You wish...

can we agree on this? there are too many people on the planet and the numbers are creating conflict... and if the population continues to increase, the problems will be more severe...

You and Frank?

Noted...

it's a big thing, gonna take a big expense account.
other than that, we would enjoy to

define "other people"

Anybody else who visits FoxNews online notice that there seems to be increasing articles that highlight or at lease acknowledge climate change?

I don't think there was a public announcement or anything, but before a few weeks ago, I don't recall ever seeing anything on any FN platform that mentioned global warming unless it was to mock someone about it. Lately, there appears to have been a quiet pivot. The mocking is still quite present, but the stories that attribute stuff to global warming are now out there, too.

They stopped being Fair and Balanced in 2016......now they're the 'America is Watching’ network...the advertisers love it...

A good tire fire should last at least a month...

I think you're grandfathered in.
Burn 'em if ya got 'em!
