re: #42 b_sharp

I don’t see this in the abstract you linked. Do you have access to the complete paper?

I don’t think the answer is known for sure. This is one of the unsettled areas.

If you google the title in Scholar, you can get the PDF for free from Penn State.

from page two of the article:

In the warm-climate runs, our model generates substantially
fewer tropical storms (−27%) and hurricanes (−18%) (Fig. 3,
Supplementary Information, Fig. S3). Comparing 27 warm-climate
seasons with the control, 22 years have a decrease in tropical
storms, 3 have an increase and 2 show no change. Major
hurricane counts decrease by 8%.

granted, i’m not taking this as gospel. but if, as you say, this is one of the unsettled areas (as i had been led to believe), then LVQ had other reasons for saying what he did and it’d be a learning opportunity for me.
