[Earth Science] The Wind and the Fury: Has climate change made hurricanes fiercer, or are such claims hot air?
New research suggests that, as global warming proceeds, hurricane winds will gain speed and the storms will dump more rain, but controversy lingers as to how much more violent the storms will become and when they will occur.

Graph of US landfalling hurricanes from 1851 to 2004 from NOAA data shows no change over 150 years:

You forgot to note that sea surface temperature (SST) is the thing expected to be related to hurricane strength, and also that SST is the last of the global warming signals expected to become visible due to the time lag. For real science by real professionals in the field you can do worse than reading the following site:
Get back to me when you have hurricane data that show a change.
