In the reports I've seen, the scientific community, include meteorologists, have built a consensus around the impacts of global warming. What they have predicted in their models is that as warming increases, we can expect to see a higher degree of variability in weather conditions, including an increase in intensity of storms. A great example of this is the warming of the Gulf of Mexico. When tropical storms enter the Gulf, they get supercharged by warm water closer to the coasts. If the water there continues to increase in temperature, that will increase the intensity of the storms to hurricane status. The frequency of tropical storms supercharging to hurricane status will also increase, as water temperatures stay at a higher level. We certainly seem to have had our share of freakish weather the last few years.
