Abstract
Ten years ago, Webster et al. documented a large and significant increase in both the number as well as the percentage of category 4 and 5 hurricanes for all global basins from 1970 to 2004, and this manuscript examines whether those trends have continued when including 10 additional years of data. In contrast to that study, as shown here, the global frequency of category 4 and 5 hurricanes has shown a small, insignificant downward trend while the percentage of category 4 and 5 hurricanes has shown a small, insignificant upward trend between 1990 and 2014. Accumulated cyclone energy globally has experienced a large and significant downward trend during the same period. The primary reason for the increase in category 4 and 5 hurricanes noted in observational datasets from 1970 to 2004 by Webster et al. is concluded to be due to observational improvements at the various global tropical cyclone warning centers, primarily in the first two decades of that study.

you know what would change my stance.
peer reviewed science showing man made co2 causing warming.
how can you take yourself seriously... you make scientific claims without any science or scientists to back you up.
go on show us 10 scientists who state man made co2 is causing warming. not 10 who say the IPCC says but 10 who say the science tells us.
you said virtually every scientists says that... so I ask for 10. you lying troll... you wont even produce 10.

Neither you or google ever provides any peer reviewed science showing man made CO2 causes global warming.
Your bag of tricks is empty.
Your brain is empty. Douchebag.
Arctic sea ice this summer shrank to its second-lowest level since scientists began satellite monitoring, another ominous signal of global warming.
The sea ice reached its summer low point on Saturday, extending 1.6 million square miles — just behind the mark set in 2012, 1.31 million square miles.
One researcher speculated that the Arctic may be ice free in summertime by 2030. The overall declines in sea ice, other scientists suggest, may affect the jet stream and influence weather farther south.

Let's talk about the Antarctic ice expanding. You do realize the earth changes its axial tilt over time and normally one pole loses ice and the other one gains, eh?
No, you are the typical ignorant Trumper. The Antarctic ice volume is decreasing.
You see, being that you are a Trumper you equate surface area with volume. They are not the same thing.
FAIL!
NASA Study: Mass Gains of Antarctic Ice Sheet Greater than Losses
A new NASA study says that Antarctica is overall accumulating ice. Still, areas of the continent, like the Antarctic Peninsula photographed above, have increased their mass loss in the last decades.

Map showing the rates of mass changes from ICESat 2003-2008 over Antarctica. Sums are for all of Antarctica: East Antarctica (EA, 2-17); interior West Antarctica (WA2, 1, 18, 19, and 23); coastal West Antarctica (WA1, 20-21); and the Antarctic Peninsula (24-27). A gigaton (Gt) corresponds to a billion metric tons, or 1.1 billion U.S. tons.

A new NASA study says that an increase in Antarctic snow accumulation that began 10,000 years ago is currently adding enough ice to the continent to outweigh the increased losses from its thinning glaciers.
The research challenges the conclusions of other studies, including the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s (IPCC) 2013 report, which says that Antarctica is overall losing land ice.
According to the new analysis of satellite data, the Antarctic ice sheet showed a net gain of 112 billion tons of ice a year from 1992 to 2001. That net gain slowed to 82 billion tons of ice per year between 2003 and 2008.

The post directly above shows what a fantasy world you live in -- completely devoid of facts.
Obviously both the land and sea ice in Antartica is increasing.
