One of the global warming predictions suggests not an increase in number of storms, but in the power of storms. There will just be more warm water around to help increase storm size. Harvey dropped large amounts of rain. Irma is bouncing around category 4 and 5. This matches some of the warming talk, but two storms proves nothing.
Agreed. This is a game of statistics. On the other hand, an increase in the number of high-energy storms seems likely, and we'll know for sure in the next few years ... not that this helps with our current troubles.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
