As our climate gets warmer due to global warming, the frequency and intensity of hurricanes will increase. This is because, global warming creates higher water temperatures, creating a perfect climate for Hurricanes.

However, earths lithosphere impacted Hurricane Katrina greatly-
Although scientists are uncertain whether climate change will lead to an increase in the number of hurricanes, warmer ocean temperatures and higher sea levels are expected to intensify their impacts.
Over the past 50-plus years, the earth’s oceans have absorbed more than 90 percent of the extra heat generated by man-made global warming, becoming warmer as a result. Since warm sea surface temperatures fuel hurricanes, this means more energy, and that allows these storms to pack a bigger punch. Overall, scientists expect a 2-11 percent increase in average maximum wind speed, with the number of intense storms rising within the next few years.
Sea level rise is likely to make future hurricanes, more damaging. Globally averaged, sea level is expected to rise by 1-4 feet during the next century, which will amplify coastal storm surge. These sea levels are rising due to glaciers and ice burgs melting, also a result of global warming.
The connection between climate change and hurricane frequency is less straightforward. Globally, about 70 to 110 tropical storms form each year, with about 40 to 60 reaching hurricane grade strength. However, records show large year-to-year changes in the number and intensity of these storms, rather than large scale changes.
For the 21st century, some scientists project no change or a small reduction in the frequency of hurricanes, while others show an increase in frequency. More recent work shows a trade-off between intensity and frequency – that as warmer oceans strengthen hurricane intensity, fewer storms actually form. For the continental United States in the Atlantic Basin, models project a 45-87 percent increase in the frequency of Category 4 and 5 hurricanes despite a possible decrease in the total frequency of all storms.
As you can see the higher the temperature gets due to climate change, the higher the intensity and frequency of the hurricane.
-Our Solution-
If we would like to decrease the amount of hurricanes worldwide and overall increase our planet's wellness, we should stop burning fossil fuels. Fossil fuels are a direct cause to global warming and therefore impact our planet greatly. In addition to this, we should educate our society on how to react to hurricanes and other natural disasters
(Depending on how you look at it)
Our Hypothesis was partially correct because, everybody has their own opinion. Some scientists believe that rise in intensity and frequency has a direct link to climate change, while others believe that frequency and intensity of hurricanes grow on their own over time. There is no definite yes or no when discussing the intensity or frequency of hurricanes that has been determined.
Hurricanes can be deadly to our population. This means that we should know how to react properly, and be prepared for when a hurricane hits. Some things You can do are:
