...........but wind-ups are increasing in numbers and frequencies!!
Are you sure?
Maybe 50 to 4,000,000,000 years ago our weather radar wasn't so good, and there weren't people in some areas to report it on Instagram.

When someone says that Hurricanes are decreasing. That is pretty ambiguous. By WHAT measure are they SUPPOSED (?) to be decreasing? Two basic measures would be frequency and intensity. The last thing that I have read is that hurricanes are predicted to increase in intensity, but maybe not in frequency. The logic behind the increase in intensity is Global Warming and the warming of all oceans of the world.
......In fact, I believe that I have read that there may soon be a need for a category SIX for Hurricanes because of expected INCREASED wind speeds due to the higher energy stored in the warmer ocean water.
.........Also, a point of discussion might be that the climate predictions of increased temperatures for the next 10 (or more ?) years does not seem to be believed (or never researched) by the INCREASED numbers of northerners that seem to be relocating recently to FLORIDA.
........Maybe they all plan on living in Florida in a special air conditioned suit to play Pickleball in during the summer. And maybe they hope to live in DOME houses to survive the strong hurricane winds on the coast and maybe here.

Simple graph with simple question ... why are hurricanes decreasing? Too much CO2?

CO2 has the OPPOSITE effect - more CO2 increases Global Warming, which increases Hurricane STRENGTH.

The data is clear ... Hurricanes are decreasing (regardless of strength), and those that come to the Weather Club will know why. In the meantime -- more CO2 actually helps reduce severe weather events -- which is why the media and climate alarmists fear this subject.

That's a confirmation bias link, since it makes claims without supporting data.
