Over the last several weeks, many mainstream news media outlets have claimed that hurricanes are becoming more expensive, more frequent, and more intense because of climate change.

• The Financial Times reported that “hurricane frequency is on the rise.”
• The New York Times claimed, “strong storms are becoming more common in the Atlantic Ocean.”
• The Washington Post said, “climate change is rapidly fueling super hurricanes.”
• ABC News declared, “Here’s how climate change intensifies hurricanes.”
