Less frequent but more intenseThe finding has not been a total surprise for climate scientists.Why are cyclone paths so hard to predict?Some cyclones seem to hurtle straight into the coast whiles others drunkenly stagger about. What separates the drunks from the driven?Read moreAs the climate has warmed over the 20th century, scientists have suggested that changes in underlying atmospheric conditions like humidity and wind shear have created an environment that is more hostile for tropical cyclone formation globally.Professor Walsh said the results needed to be interpreted in perspective as the study counted all tropical cyclones, severe or otherwise. "The really intense ones are the ones that cause most of the damage," he said."So what that means is you can have a situation where the total numbers are decreasing, but the total damage actually increases, because there are some pretty good theoretical reasons to believe that in the future, the numbers of really intense storms will increase rather than decrease."
