NOAA: ‘It is premature to conclude…that global warming has already had a detectable impact on hurricane activity’ – U.S. landfalling hurricanes ‘show a slight negative trend’ since ‘late 1800s’
Updated statement Aug 2019 from NOAA GFDL: “In the Atlantic, it is premature to conclude with high confidence that human activities–and particularly GHGs that cause global warming–have already had a detectable impact on hurricane activity”
More from NOAA GFDL: “U.S. landfalling hurricanes, which even show a slight negative trend beginning from 1900 or from the late 1800s...”
NOAA GFDL: “In short, the historical Atlantic hurricane frequency record does not provide compelling evidence for a substantial greenhouse warming-induced long-term increase.”

Bottom line here.
