How can you prove that it isn’t true? Many scientists disagree on if it’s true or not but that doesn’t mean it isn’t.
sorry–; i just despise ignorance

Well, it is awfully hard to *prove* something if you’re a scientist. Impossible, actually.
The effect global warming will have on tropical storm frequency is not certain, but there is evidence that the number of tropical cyclones will increase.
This is because the surface of the ocean will be warmer, which gives tropical storms more energy. Hurricanes and tropical cyclones tend to die off pretty quickly when they move over cool water, and if the water is warmer, it natural expect there to be more.
This is a pretty basic explanation. For more details and some of the nitty-gritty, check out the IPCC reports.

It’s not true.
Global warming has never been proven.
Don’t drink the kool aid, kid.
