Do you deny that after Katrina, many climatologists were predicting even stronger hurricane seasons in the future?

No. And last year set a record.

Do you deny that many GW alarmists thought Katrina was not the exception, but rather the rule going forward?

I don't think anyone said landfall cat 5 hurricanes were going to be "the rule" going forward.

Do you claim that their predictions only applied to some future hurricane seasons and not collectively all of them?

Of course they didn't apply to every year.

If so, which ones?

2009, 2012, 2016, 1022, 2067, 2098, 2156 </sarcasm>.

You and I both know you can't prove a negative.

I remember many predicting stronger hurricanes in the future, but not more hurricanes. A hurricane season, for us people, not climatologists, is defined by the number that affect populated areas. Katrina hit the bullseye of one of our most vulnerable.
